SPORT-IPL 2

Manohar said the next IPL's planning would be taken care
of by former India captains and Governing Council members
Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and M A K Pataudi.
"With regards to the 2011 IPL, Ravi Shastri, Sunil
Gavaskar and M A K Pataudi will decide the modalities of
holding three foreign and four Indian players after discussing
with the franchises," he said.
For all the allegations against Modi, Manohar said if he
manages to convince the Board of his innocence in his reply,
the inquiry proceedings against him would be dropped.
"It is the duty of the Board to look into the allegations
and to have an inquiry it is important to suspend the person
concerned. It's not punishment. The person has to be kept out
of the Board's functioning to ensure a free and fair inquiry.
"The Board would hold an inquiry and if Modi's reply
convinces the members, proceedings would be dropped," he said.
Manohar, insisting that the Governing Council was not
even aware of Modi's modus operandi, claimed that the most
public faces of Rajasthan Royals, Bollywood actress Shilpa
Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra, don't even
figure in the shareholding papers.
"We are asking Modi, how can he sign an agreement with A
when the bid came from B. Modi made a statement that the
entire world knows who the shareholders are but the fact is
that not even the Governing Council members know about
Rajasthan Royals. I did not find the names of Shilpa Shetty
and Raj Kundra in the papers and they claim to be
stakeholders," he revealed.
Asked whether the Board was worried about Modi's threats
of exposing other BCCI office-bearers, Manohar said there was
no concern.
"The BCCI is not worried. If there are other others
guilty, we will sack them and take the same action," he said.
