Tainted former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi is not associated with the Sri Lanka Premier League in any capacity, according to the tournament's marketing partner Somerset Entertainment Ventures (SEV).
"Contrary to recent media reports, SEV would like to point out emphatically that Lalit Modi, ex-commissioner of the IPL has no stake or involvement whatsoever in SEV, either directly or indirectly, and has nothing to do with the SLPL or any tournaments of SLC with which SEV is involved on any level," the company said in a statement. "Modi is neither a partner nor a shareholder and is not associated with SEV, or its founders or shareholders, in any capacity, either now or in the past."
The clarification comes after the BCCI had barred 14 Indian players from taking part in the SLPL T20 tournament. Modi was reportedly involved in hosting of the event.
