The association will file a reply sought by board president Shashank Manohar by June 13 explaining their stand on the matter, KCA secretary TC Mathew informed the reporters after a special general body meeting of the association.
Mathew on his part alleged that the franchise owners were trying to shift base to another state on frivolous grounds.
About the security issues during the home matches and the tickets not having government seal, Mathew defended the state body putting the blame on the Kochi Municipal Corporation for not doing the needful.
"Sufficient number of tickets were not sent by the franchise to Kochi corporation office to affix their seal and no proper arrangements had been made to ensure that the tickets reached the various booking outlets sufficiently early," he said.
Admitting that for the first two matches several spectators without valid tickets had managed to sneak into the stadium, he said city police commissioner had been informed by the association about this lapse. .
