Lalit Modi slams BCCI on SLPL issue

Former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi has ridiculed the BCCI for reportedly suggesting that he might be involved in the organisation of the upcoming Sri Lankan Premier League, in which Indian players have been barred from participating.

"It seems best way to scuttle any plans is to say Lalit Modi is behind it. Good to know that just mentioning my name can send a shiver down their spines," Modi twitted.

"Guess they are a bunch of spineless people running the show. Who have no clue as to what to do. Not that they ever had. I had to do it for them," he said mockingly.

On Monday, reports claimed that the BCCI refused to permit Indian players to participate in the league as it believed that Modi might be involved in its organisation.
