The Indian Premier League (IPL) has withdrawn accreditation for a number of journalists for the finals of the series that will be played at the Wanderers here this weekend, citing oversubscription.

"If you have not been explicitly notified that your application for accreditation for the final three IPL matches has been granted, this means that you do not have accreditation for these matches," Trevor Jones, media director of Magna-Carta, the company handling media relations here for the IPL, said in an e-mail.
