No role in BCCI elections as of now: Lalit Modi

Although relieved at his passport being restored following the Delhi High Court verdict, Lalit Modi said he ‘will not have any role to play’ in the upcoming BCCI AGM as the Supreme Court-appointed Mukul Mudgal committee has not submitted its report yet. The former IPL chairman also indicated that if current president in exile N Srinivasan gets a clean chit from the Mudgal committee, it will effectively bring down curtains on his career as a cricket administrator.

‘As far as my knowledge goes, the BCCI AGM will be postponed till the Mudgal Committee report is out. I believe the system needs to be cleaned up and no heaven will fall if the AGM is delayed by three months. As of now, without doubt, I don’t see myself playing any role in the BCCI elections,’ Modi told NDTV from London. ‘Let me tell you, if the Mudgal report does not go against Srini, it will be extremely difficult for me to make a comeback. In that case, I will rest my case and hang up my boots. I will give up cricket administration,’ Modi added. Asked about when will he come back to India, Modi said it will depend on what kind of feedback he gets from the competent authorities regarding the security of him and his family.
