The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday banned former Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Modi for life on charges of financial irregularities.
The decision in this regard was taken at a Special General Meeting of the BCCI held here today during which the cricket board discussed a report filed by its disciplinary committee and decided to impose the ban.
