Modi, IPL franchises bugging England

London: England's Cricketers' Association claims that IPL commissioner Lalit Modi and the franchises are “bugging players like crazy” to commit participation in the lucrative Twenty20 event but are refusing to acknowledge their security fears.

Professional Cricketers Association (PCA) director of legal affairs Ian Smith said Modi, who had earlier claimed that “heavens won't fall if international players refuse to come for the Indian Premier League (IPL)”, has been “bugging players like crazy” to commit.

Smith, however, said the security situation in India seems better then a few weeks ago but some concerns still remain.

“The situation is a hell of a lot better than it was a week ago,” Smith was quoted as saying by The Times. — PTI
