IPL Gate: Modi to reply BCCI’s second notice today
May 31st, 2010 - 1:31 pm ICT by ANIMumbai, May 31 (ANI): Suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Modi is expected to submit his reply to the second showcause notice of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today.
The BCCI’s second notice has accused Modi of attempting to float a rebel Twenty20 league in England.
Modi was served a second showcause notice by the BCCI on May 6 based on an e-mail sent to the Board by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Chairman Giles Clarke.
On Sunday, Modi’s counsel Mehmood Abdi said the reply would be filed on Monday, but it would not be as voluminous as the reply to the first show cause notice.
Modi’s reply to the first showcause served on him soon after the conclusion of IPL’s third edition on April 25 ran up to over 15,000 pages, including a 160-page main reply with supporting documents.
Reportedly, the notice referred to Modi’s March 31 meeting in Delhi with representatives of English counties Yorkshire, Lancashire and Warwickshire in which he allegedly talked about a parallel Twenty20 league in England and Wales in which eight existing franchises would bid for nine counties in the UK.
Earlier, Modi sought and obtained a 10-day breather to reply to the second show cause notice from the BCCI and the deadline ends on Monday. (ANI)
