Mumbai may lose the chance to host two play off matches of the IPL

    The Board of Control for Cricket in India has threatened to move those to matches to Bangalore instead.
BCCI's working committee criticised the Mumbai cricket Association for creating inconvenience for BCCI officials and TV production crew to get inside the venue on the match days.
Board secretary N Srinivasan, Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty and IPL CEO Sundar Raman were stopped outside the Vinoo Mankad gate and prevented from entering their office parking lot in their car on April 15 - when the Wankhede stadium hosted its first IPL match of the season, between Mumbai Indians and Kochi Tuskers Kerala - without police passes.
Blaming it on the Mumbai police taking over the charge of the entire ground, the Mumbai Cricket Association expressed helplessness in dealing with the inconvenience faced by the BCCI officials and the production crew.
The Mumbai Cricket Association has three days to revert to BCCI on the security issues.
The two play-off matches will be played between the top four finishers at the end of the league stage of the T20 tournament.
