Commenting on the continued commitment of Sponsors to the DLF Indian Premier League. Mr. Lalit Modi said …..
I want to make it amply clear that all our sponsors and partners remain resolute and steadfast in their commitment to the DLF Indian Premier League. They are all very much still on board and not a single partner has pulled out. They have all paid as per the schedule. In fact, we have received a lot of offers from potential sponsors at multiple prices willing to pay much more for our properties.
On the Sony issue, Mr. Modi said….
We are jointly working with the management team at Sony to address this and we are confident that we will be able to amicably resolve the operational issues to the satisfaction of all the concerned parties.
Mr. Modi also announced that the Deccan Chargers had exercised their option to select Visakhapatnam as the second venue for holding two of their home games in Season II of the Indian Premier League.
On Ricky Ponting’s leave of absence from Season II…..
The Indian Premier League will not be the poorer by the absence of one or two of the world's top
Players. All our franchisees have gone about selecting the team’s basis commitments of the international player to the FTP (Future Tours Programme) of the International Cricket Council. The IPL has thus in a way been structured around the FTP. It is designed in such a way that even while teams have a maximum of ten foreign players (on their rolls) only four can play at any given time.
