New Delhi - Suspended IPL commissioner Lalit Modi wants the inquiry committee that will investigate corruption allegations against him to not contain senior Indian cricket board officials.
Modi told the Press Trust of India on Wednesday that BCCI president Shashank Manohar and secretary N. Srinivasan should not be part of the committee.
He said board members not in the IPL governing council should be on the committee as well as "persons with judicial experience, like former chief justice of India."
The board is investigating Modi over his involvement in the bids for the Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab at the inaugural Indian Premier League auction in 2008. He is also being investigated over the awarding of two new IPL franchises last month and a broadcast deal.
