Mumbai: BCCI president Shashank Manohar and secretary N Srinivasan, who are in a fight with IPL chief Lalit Modi, on Sunday skipped the tournament final at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
After being closeted in the BCCI headquarters at the Wankhede Stadium for about eight hours ahead of IPL Governing Council meeting on Monday, Manohar and Srinivasan departed along with IPL vice-chairman Niranjan Shah.
The trio had skipped the semifinals of the IPL too held on April 21 and 22. All three are expected to grill Modi at tomorrow's meet which is anticipated to be a heated one in the aftermath of the alleged financial irregularities committed in the running
of the hugely popular Twenty20 event by Modi.
Incidentally Srinivasan is also the MD and vice-chairman of India Cements that owns one of the finalists - Chennai Super Kings - who clashed for the title with Mumbai Indians.
Two other Council members Chirayu Amin and Arun Jaitley also attended the meeting at the Board's office.
