Issue of conflict of interests need to be looked into: Modi

New Delhi, May 07: The issue of N Srinivasan playing the dual role of Cricket Board secretary and co-owner of a franchise needs to be sorted out, according to suspended IPL Chairman Lalit Modi, who today said he has started the process of collecting all the documentary evidences pertaining to the matter.

Acting on former BCCI president AC Muthiah’s petition, the Supreme Court today issued a notice to Srinivasan, asking whether his ownership of the Chennai Super Kings IPL franchise constituted a conflict of interest.

Reacting to the Supreme Court notice to Srinivasan, Modi, who is at loggerheads with the BCCI secretary, said the issue has been around for a while and merits a consideration.

“This has been in the court for quite a while and there is an issue out there which needs to be sorted out,” Modi said.
