IPL ready to reconsider schedule

Considering requests from English players, Indian Premier League Chairman Lalit Modi today said the money minting Twenty20 competition was ready to adjust its future schedule to accommodate them.

Modi, who is also a Vice-Chairman of the BCCI, said England’s best players were keen to get involved.

“We have a huge amount of pressure from the English players to participate in it. It’s not that we couldn’t sign them (but) because it directly conflicts with the English games,” he said.

“Sooner or later we will look at adjusting our programmes while we try to bring our league forward,” he said.
