BCCI issues another showcause notice to Lalit Modi

Suspended IPL chairman Lalit Modi is yet to shrug off his recent setback and he already finds himself in another trouble. BCCI, the apex governing body of Indian cricket, has issued a showcause notice to him following the English cricket board's allegation of provoking counties to revolt against their governing body if they are not allowed to play in IPL.

The English cricket board also accuses him of inciting players to revolt against their superiors.

BCCI has issued a five-page showcause notice, which contains a series of allegations against Modi. BCCI has given him 15 days time to respond to charges. According to the BCCI secretary N Srinivasan, the Board issued such a showcause notice after receiving an e-mail from England Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke.

Stating that Lalit Modi's activities are damaging to Indian cricket as well as the World cricket, Srinivasan hinted at a serious action against him that might soon follow.

The showcause notice referred to Modi's meeting with the representatives of English counties. It has been reported that Modi talked about a parallel IPL in the England and Wales.
