Lalit Modi to go sooner than later
This is the worst crisis being faced by the most promising advenutre in the history of world cricket. It is crucial that the Indian Premier League which has been smeared with the murk of IPL gate cleans the augean stables.
WITH INCOME tax department scanning the IPL bid papers and a series of allegations of financial irregularities against Lalit Modi, the IPL row seems to be getting murkier. Modi has landed in Mumbai from Dubai and is reported to be on his way to Delhi amidst a detailed inquiry set against him by the Income Tax department to track the irregularities.
 
The IPL commissioner and chairman is likely to submit his resignation to the Board of Control for Cricket in India after the IPL 2010 ends on April 25. According to sources, there might be a possibility of immediate decision on the resignation coming today itself on April 20 from the IPL chairman Lalit Modi with the pressure mounting on him ever since the Tharoor-IPL Kochi controversy and corruption charges levied on him being scanned by the income tax department.
 
The meeting which was reported to be held in New Delhi regarding Modi's ouster has taken place between BCCI chief Shashank Manohar and Union Minister and former BCCI chief Sharad Pawar sealing the fate of Lalit Modi, the man surrounded with controversies. Lalit Modi is likely to be sacked with Manohar becoming the successor to the former IPL chief.
 
Meanwhile, a probe has been set out with the I-T department examining the data on bids and financial details of various franchisees stored in Modi's office computers. With the ongoing probe not only the IPL financial records would come under scrutiny but also the tax details of BCCI with regard to IPL will come under I-T scanner.
 
This is the worst crisis being faced by the most promising advenutre in the history of world cricket. It is crucial that the Indian Premier League which has been smeared with the murk of IPL gate cleans the augean stables to ensure that cricket and cricket fans never see this sordid drama again.
