The team's kit and merchandise sponsor MPL has also told the BCCI that it wants to transfer its rights to 'Keval Kiran Clothing Limited' (KKCL). He has an agreement with BCCI till 31 December 2023. MPL replaced 'Nike' in November 2020.

According to BCCI's note, 'it had received an email from MPL Sports on 2 December 2022, in which it has demanded to hand over its agreement (team and merchandise) completely to KKCL.' On this, the BCCI has asked MPL Sports to continue the contract till March 31, 2023 or give a partial contract to KKCL, which will only include the 'logo' on the right side chest. But the agreement for the kit will remain with MPL.
