The man does not know how to give up. Suspended IPL chairman Lalit Modi has continued his tirade against the presence of interim IPL chairman Chirayu Amin and BCCI vice-president Arun Jaitley in the disciplinary committee that will decide his case.
Modi’s woes seem to get worse by the day. Today, the Bombay High Court decided to reject the plea filed by Modi and his lawyers which had said that the IPL disciplinary committee should be disbanded and the a new unbiased committee should be formed.
The Indian Government has finally realised that the IPL and the BCCI are the same for them! So, anything that the IPL is involved in, will automatically mean that it is the responsibility of the BCCI. It is a wonder that it has taken them so many years of the tournament being played to come to such a conclusion.
IPL’s suspended chairman, Lalit Modi is at it again! First he had cried foul over the appointment of Shashank Manohar in the IPL disciplinary panel who will handle his case. Now, he has said that even Chirayu Amin should not be allowed to sit on the disciplinary committee.
Geoff Marsh, Australia’s former batsman and coach, has been contracted to coach the IPL Pune side. The Sahara Pune Warriors, who are owned by the Sahara Group for a sum of $370 million will also have Dermot Reeve as his assistant coach.
The newest franchise in the IPL, that from Kochi is said to have spoken to Steve Waugh to join them in the capability of a coach for the next season of the IPL. One of the co-owners of the Kochi franchise, Vivek Venugopal said that Waugh was only one of the many potential candidates that they were talking to and based on the discussions and the time that the candidate will have, the decision will be taken.
President of the BCCI, Shashank Manohar has said that he will not be a part of the three-man discipline committee who will hear Lalit Modi’s case. This will mean that the BCCI will need to include a third person in the committee apart from the other, existing two members of the committee, Arun Jaitley and Chirayu Amin.
