Thursday, 3 June 2010
NEW DELHI, June 2 (AFP): Suspended Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi has responded to allegations that he tried to set up a rebel league in England without the knowledge of cricket chiefs, his lawyer said Tuesday.
English cricket boss Giles Clarke last month contacted the Indian board detailing Modi's alleged plans to involve English counties in an IPL-style tournament featuring top stars.
Clarke said Modi had held a secret meeting with officials from Lancashire, Warwickshire and Yorkshire in New Delhi on March 31 to discuss the proposal without the knowledge of the boards concerned.
