New Delhi: With pressure mounting on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to strip Indian Premier League commissioner Lalit Modi of all powers, the board has demanded that the league turn over all its papers.
In an email to IPL CEO Sundar Raman, BCCI secretary N Srinivasan has demanded the return of all IPL papers and documents to the board.
BCCI president Shashank Manohar met Union Minister Sharad Pawar to discuss "the entire IPL situation". He later met BCCI media and finance committee chairman Rajiv Shukla and DDCA president and senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley.
As a first move, the cricket bosses decided to probe allegations of financial mismanagement against Modi through an internal inquiry.
The issue of naming an interim IPL chairman pending inquiry also came up for discussion. The names of Manohar and Jaitley are already doing the rounds for a possible replacement.
"In the present scenario, it would be in the best interest of the BCCI to clip Modi's wings. But there are chances that he can still remain in the governing council as a member. In case the findings of the BCCI probe go against Modi, things can change," said a top BCCI official.

I think the issue is not about IPL records. Modi would have no problems sending BCCI what they want. The issue is how Congress is going after a person whose only crime is to have put his foot down when Shashi Tharoor slyly tried to gate-crash into big money. Congress, smarting under the repercussions of a no-nonsense Modi, is blackmailing everyone at BCCI, Sharad Pawar down, to go against Modi. This is a shame. The Congress and the backbone-less BCCI stalwarts should be exposed.
