South Africa’s Gerald Majola, Cricket Australia’s James Sutherland and Dean Keano, all founder members of the Champions League, met the Cricket Board officials BCCI President Shashank Manohar, Secretary N. Srinivasan, and IPL Vice Chairman Niranjan Shah and Finance Committee chairman Rajiv Shukla.
Though there was no official meeting scheduled, the Champions League governing council members had informal discussions, sources said.
The Council is chaired by Mr. Modi, who is at the centre of a raging IPL controversy for alleged financial irregularities.
Mr. Modi was not present during the discussions.
