Former Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi on Saturday demanded the termination of Chennai Super Kings franchisee and called for fresh auctions to be held after the arrest of N Srinivasan’s son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan.
 
“If a owner of an IPL team is engaged in betting, the contract clearly states that there is a suo motu right to cancel the agreement of the team and that should be done right away [sic],” Modi was quoted as saying by CNN-IBN.

Modi also suggested that the owners should now come forward and run the IPL. The leash should be taken away from BCCI and the IPL governing council.
