Board of Cricket Control of India – BCCI – is planning to form a small sub-committee now to run the Twenty20 league in future. It doesn't want to be one man show any more like in the case of Lalit Modi. According to sources, 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 sources in Mumbai said that the BCCI is planning to carve out a smaller committee out of the present IPL Governing Council and include three or four persons to run the show. The names cropping up in the BCCI corridors include Arun Jaitley, Niranjan Shah, Ravi Shastri and Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi. All of them are members of IPL Governing Council headed by Modi.<br/> <br/>The BCCI top brass seems to be in no mood either to consider embattled IPL commissioner Lalit Modi's plea to defer the Governing Council meeting by five days. It made it clear that it will go ahead as per schedule of April 26.<br/> <br/>The BCCI has already told Modi that it would not change the date of the meeting as allegations of financial irregularities and the entire controversies related to IPL are far too serious to differ the meeting any further.<br/> <br/>Modi had yesterday sought five days time to prepare himself for the BCCI Governing Council meeting. He said he needs time to prepare the documents to support his replies to all the questions.
