WKL commissioner and former India hockey captain Pargat Singh told HT that, "Based on a written complaint from the players, the WKL has suspended the Yo Yo Tigers franchise for the time being. We will conduct an inquiry into the matter... At the same time, the players shouldn't have left the field.
