BCCI bigwigs not to attend IPL awards

Published Fri, Apr 23 10 07:36 PM

Mumbai, Apr 23 (PTI) The top brass of the BCCI will not attend the inaugural IPL Awards Night to be held at a suburban hotel here this evening in the wake of the spat with Lalit Modi. BCCI President Shashank Manohar, Secretary N Srinivasan, and IPL vice-chairman Niranjan Shah will not attend the function, a top BCCI official said on the condition of anonymity. The Awards Night, to honour the best-performing players in the IPL over the last month and a half, is planned to be a Bollywood-style entertainment extravaganza in which Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar are to be the co-hosts. Invitations for the awards function have been sent to all the BCCI and IPL''s Governing Council members, all the franchise owners, players and support staff, along with the owners of the two new teams - Kochi and Pune -- which are to make their debut in the league in 2011. The absence of the BCCI bigwigs is likely to add further fuel to fire to the ongoing spat between them and IPL Commissioner Modi.
