The BCCI’s decision came after Modi sought some documents from the Board to prepare his reply, though he was supposed to respond to the chargesheet yesterday. BCCI Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty told reporters in Mumbai that Lalit Modi has requested the Board President Shashank Manohar and Secretary N Srinivasan to extend time. He was supposed to reply to the show cause notice yesterday. Shetty's announcement came soon after Modi's lawyer Memmood S Abdi handed over the remaining documents pertaining to the IPL which were with the suspended IPL chief.<br/>
