IPL 2011 Season 4: BCCI Facing Jittery Phase

A special meeting has been called for by Board of Control for Cricket in India, BCCI, to be attended by all officials comprising of its general body. Meeting is to be held in Mumbai on coming Saturday with an agenda of reformation of the disciplinary committee of the Board. As evident the current committee ’s in place has completed its term in September and need to be restructured. The main task being performed by the committee is investigation of Lalit Modi ’s involvement in high level of misappropriations in Indian Premiere League that was being headed by him earlier. Lalit Modi who was chairman of IPL was directed by Board to quit after his exposure in many irregularities related to IPL ’s functioning. The board was supposed to reform the disciplinary committee during its annual general body meeting held in September but failed to do it though technically the existing disciplinary committee has lost its sanctity due to expiry of its term. Though BCCI secretary N Srinivasan has stated that reformation of disciplinary committee as minor subject, the sanctity of its functioning was recently pointed out by Lalit Modi’s lawyer Mehmood Abdi in November. BCCI is already staggering with its jittery situation in relation to three IPL teams Rajasthan Royals, Kochi and Kings XI Punjab. Kochi franchise issue on one hand is almost resolved with their formal reply to BCCI on its shareholding problems and hence qualifies to go for IPL season 4 to be held in 2011. Rajasthan Royals team owners had challenged their contract termination by BCCI in Mumbai High Court and have got a stay order ruled by Justice Srikrishna. With all this unstable situations, BCCI ’s plan of auction of players that was to be held in November and then in January is apparently going to be further delayed and may happen during 2011 World Cup. Till IPL season four the number of teams participating in the event was eight that was increase by two with the inclusion of two new teams Pune and Kochi. After the count reached to ten, Kochi franchise controversy started along with BCCI’s termination of contract with two old teams Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab. Further shuffling happened during BCCI ’s plan of bidding for a new franchise, when Kochi had a come back and Rajasthan Royals have got an approval from Court to participate in IPL 2011. BCCI is still not very clear about how many total teams would be participating in the forthcoming IPL season 4.
