Modi's days as IPL Commissioner appeared to be numbered as Sharad Pawar met BCCI chief Shashank Manohar and announced that the league's Governing Council will meet on April 26 to take a "collective and unanimous" decision on his continuance.
"Our (BCCI) total approach in the Governing Council will be they will take collective, unanimous decisions, and give future direction to Indian cricket," Pawar told reporters after Manohar flew in from Nagpur and discussed the "entire IPL situation".
Asked whether Modi would have to resign, he said,"If the authority is vested with the Governing Council, neither Sharad Pawar nor Shashank Manohar is interested to interfere in the basic right of all the members."
He said the board always took decisions collectively and unanimously.
Asked whether Modi would accept the Governing Council decision, he said, "Don't forget Mr Modi is also a vice president of the BCCI and our total approach and past experience, we always take collective and unanimous decision where everyone is party to, including Lalit Modi."u00a0
