D Day is announced

Hindu reports:

Shashank Manohar, President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has asked Modi to convene the Governing Council meeting at the Cricket Centre within 24 hours of the IPL III final to be played at the D.Y. Patil Stadium on Sunday.

Reliable sources said Manohar may have taken the consent of all the members of the GC before asking Modi to convene the meeting. According to the IPL rule, only the chairman has the right to convene a meeting. Clearly, the Kochi franchisee issue will dominate the proceedings and the senior GC members expect a hard time for the IPL chairman.

The members of the GC are: Lalit Modi (chairman), Niranjan Shah (vice-chairman), Shashank Manohar, N. Srinivasan, Sanjay Jagdale, Mohinder Pandove, Inderjit Bindra, Farokh Abdulla, Arun Jaitley, Rajiv Shukla, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and Chirayu Amin.
