Lalit Modi, the suspended Chairman of The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been granted more time to appeal for the charges against him by the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) , as his advocates wanted more files from the cricketing council.
It was meant to be a huge day when Modi was to reply to the council’s notice that programmed 22 charges against Modi from getting cuts to meddling with the Indian cash rich tournament team’s bids.
The scandal-tainted chief had asked BCCI to give him time till May 15 to answer to all their queries.
Lalit Modi was in Delhi on Sunday to put the finishing touches on his reply to the showcause notice issued to him by the BCCI. Modi in fact has to prepare his reply for a second showcause notice as well as for planning an IPL-like league in England.
It is said that Modi is thinking to take severe action against ECB Chairman Giles Clarke, and revenge him for denouncement.
“The world has reacted to the showcause notice issued to me, I don’t need to react to it, I still have 15 days, everyone knows what it is about, Modi had said on Sunday.
And though Lalit Modi may be in danger of being removed from the BCCI and IPL fold completely, one has to appreciate his never say die attitude. He had said few days ago, “I have been the BCCI’s public enemy No 1 for a long time now.”
And for those wondering if this is the beginning of the end for the man who gave India and the world a product called IPL, well, here’s what he himself has to say.
“I am not going anywhere, I have only been suspended,” says Lalit Modi.
