Lalit Modi’s IPL threatens English cricket
The full scale of the threat to English cricket posed by the billion-dollar Indian Premier League was revealed to The Daily Telegraph yesterday when the man leading the revolution said “the majority of the England players have been in contact with us”.
Lalit Modi, the chairman of the IPL, has stood by a deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board in which it was agreed that England players would not be used during the first season.
But yesterday he confirmed that agreement cannot hold. He said: “We would very much like the English players to participate in our league. All our owners are determined to have them play with them.
“I know a lot of our owners are in touch with the English players. I know that the players’ agents have been in touch with me, and I’ve been telling them that we cannot do anything for the moment. After this season, it will be more difficult to do that.”
