Today’s meeting was informal in nature and was held at the board’s headquarters in Mumbai. The IPL Governing Council, which is meeting on Monday, would decide on the fate of its Commissioner Lalit Modi, who is at the centre of IPL-Gate controversy. Barely 24 hours left for the meeting, Modi has been sticking to his tweeted view. Posting a comment on social networking site twitter on Saturday, Modi had refused to step down despite allegations of financial irregularities. There is intense speculation that Modi is set to be sacked in Monday's meeting as council members and the BCCI is reportedly upset with the income tax mess that the IPL finds itself in.
