Cricket: ‘ICL may start again’
Mody sees opportunity for ICL case becoming stronger.
NEW DEHLI:
Himanshu Mody, the business head of Zee Sports which ran the Indian Cricket League (ICL), has said the league could be revived again. His comments come in the aftermath of former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi’s revelations claiming that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had the “mandate to scuttle the ICL” and arm-twisted the global cricket community into falling in line.
“The matter is in the court and we’re waiting for Modi to reveal more on how BCCI plotted to kill ICL,” Mody told Times of India. “If we’re able to get more evidence, it’ll certainly make our case stronger against the BCCI.
