"It's their wish as to whether they want to work or not. No one can force anyone to work," Patel told PTI reacting to the reports that MCA officials have handed back their accreditation cards to the IPL governing council on protest for shifting the match to Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.
Patel said that the IPL governing council will discuss the matter with MCA.
Mumbai Indians have two home matches against Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals on May 23rd and 25th respectively. This apart, they are also supposed to host second qualifier on May 30th.
In case the local organizers (MCA officials) do not budge from their current stand, BCCI could face problems. However Patel didn't wish to divulge whether the matches can be shifted out of Mumbai or not.
