Lalit Modi riducles BCCI over SLPL, DRS
NEW DELHI: Former Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Modi has ridiculed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for reportedly suggesting that he might be involved in the organisation of the upcoming Sri Lankan Premier League (SLPL), 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 wrote on his Twitter page.
He also said it is “nonsense” to let BCCI dictate terms on the usage of Decision Review System (DRS) and the ICC should ignore the Indian Board’s rejection to make DRS mandatory in every international series.
“It is now high-time the ICC took a stand to invoke consistency across world cricket. It is nonsense to allow an individual body to dictate an inconsistent policy to the rest of the world,” Modi wrote on his website.
“DRS was considered reliable enough for the World Cup and the technology should now be fully embraced.”
