'Australia threatens to pull out of series'

MUMBAI, SEPT. 20. With the legal battle between ESPN-Star Sports (ESS) and Zee Telefilms Ltd. over telecast rights on, Cricket Australia has threatened to pull out of the four-Test series against India next month if the matches are not telecast.

Conveying this to the Bombay High Court, K.K. Venugopal, counsel for the Board of Control for Cricket in India, said the matter needed to be resolved speedily in view of the threat. He told the court that the BCCI had powers to cancel the tender process as well as call for a fresh bid for telecast of the matches. It might do so in case the legal row between ESS and Zee was not resolved soon.
