Board of Cricket Control of India – BCCI – declines the beleaguered IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi's request for deferring the Monday Governing council meeting by 5 days. The Board will go ahead with the meeting to decide about the fate of Modi. The BCCI President Shashank Manohar said a decision will be taken on Monday at the Governing Council meeting.<br/> <br/>The BCCI top brass were in no mood to consider embattled Lalit Modi's plea to defer the meeting. They were of the view that the allegations of financial irregularities and the entire controversies related to IPL are far too serious to differ the meeting any further.<br/> <br/>Though pushed to the wall, Lalit Modi refused to resign from his post and dared the BCCI to sack him in Monday's Governing Council meeting. While the BCCI top brass went into a marathon huddle to chalk out the strategy to remove him from the post, Modi showed no signs of backing down and made his intentions clear through a series of tweets.<br/> <br/>BCCI is also planning to form a small sub-committee now to run the Twenty20 league in future. It doesn't want to be a one man show any more like in the case of Lalit Modi in IPL. The Board has come to the decision after coming under fire in the wake of Lalit Modi's alleged financial irregularities in the running of the Indian Premier League.<br/> <br/>The names of sub committee members doing rounds in the BCCI corridors include Arun Jaitley, Niranjan Shah, Ravi Shastri and Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi.
