Kings XI Punjab are unwilling to play at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium at Dharamshala as they have not received any positive response from the state government.
Sanjay Sharma, the public relations officer of HPCA said that after waiting for HP government’s reply for the last nine days, the IPL franchise on Thursday wrote to Rajeev Shukla that they would play their three match scheduled in Dharamshala in Mohali itself.
“They wanted Dharamsala to be their venue for the next three matches. On behalf of HPCA, we wrote a letter to the CM of Himachal on April 21, asking for his written consent. But no reply came from the government till date,” Sharma said.
