Mumbai: Newly-appointed IPL Commissioner Chirayu Amin said Monday his immediate priority is to clean up the Twenty20 league, which has been rattled by a massive financial scandal.
Amin replaced the flamboyant Lalit Modi, who has been suspended for alleged bid rigging and shady TV and internet rights deals among other charges. With the league in the eye of a storm, Amin said he has his task cut out.
"The immediate task is to clean-up the IPL. The game has just been concluded and so we will start planning for the next year. That is the priority right now," Amin, who also owns a pharmaceuticals company, said.
The Baroda Cricket Association chief, who is also a BCCI vice-President, was a surprise pick for the job considering that his name was not even mentioned in the run up to the IPL Governing Council meeting here Monday.
