President BCCI Shashank Manohar irked by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lalit-Kumar-Modi-c72144’s latest Twitter tirade – Cricket News Update
The President of Board of Control for cricket in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mal-Loye-c1879, Lalit Modi, against the Indian Cricket Board.
While talking to the media reporters on Tuesday morning, the BCCI chief said that by doing so, Modi can fascinate the media but not him.
Manohar’s statement came in the wake of Modi’s latest Twitter tirade in which he had held BCCI responsible for the proscription of the Indian Cricket League (ICL) - a cricket league which was introduced by the Essel Group in 2007.
Indian Cricket League was a private cricket league financed by Zee Entertainment Enterprises. Besides commercial aspects, the ICL also lacked BCCI’s support and as a result it could last for only three years before being folded up in 2009.
The suspended IPL commissioner had alleged that the influential BCCI had compelled the International Cricket Council (ICC) to amend its constitution to ban IPL’s competitor league, Indian Cricket League (ICL), in order to keep its own league alive.

When asked to comment on Modi’s allegations, Manohar said that he does not want to react to the suspended IPL commissioner.
"I don't want to react at all to Mr Modi,” said the BCCI president. “Modi seems to fascinate the media. He does not fascinate me," he added further.
In the meanwhile, BCCI has also refrained its players from participating in the next month’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Premier League (SLPL), despite the fact that Sri Lanka Cricket allowed its players to extend their stay in India for the Indian Premier League last month.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Singapore-c3005 based company running the tournament and not by the SLC, so it is not a Sri Lanka Cricket-run league, rather it is a private tournament and BCCI do not allow its players to participate in privately organised tournaments.
