| Veteran administrator and onetime ICC boss Jagmohan Dalmiya led the questioning of IPL finances at the BCCI meeting in Mumbai on Sunday. Dalmiya used the meeting to request details of how IPL money was distributed across the franchises and their affiliated associations. Former Indian opening batsman Dilip Vengsarkar, meanwhile, is believed to have questioned the limited role played by the state associations in the franchise-driven IPL. Having looked on at the wild and lucrative progression of the event, Indian state associations are expected to use the opportunity afforded by Modi's fall from grace to wrestle some power back to its traditional bases. The private ownership of each team has created an environment rich for exploitation, with Modi having until May 11 to adequately answer a string of BCCI accusations. They relate to the 2008 bids for Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab, broadcasting rights deals, the rigging of bids for new franchises in 2010, and the sale of internet rights. |
