“If they want to keep playing these games, they can keep their players and we will have the IPL without them,” Modi was quoted as saying by the ‘sydney Morning Herald’.
“I am being very clear about this. Cricket Australia wants global protection of its sponsors, we are not interested in that. That does not happen anywhere in cricket. The fact is, if Cricket Australia continues these demands they will cause their players to suffer,” he said.
As sponsors pay millions of dollars to CA each year, they expect to receive coverage whenever an Australian player takes part in any international series but in the IPL cricketers will represent clubs and are expected to wear sanctioned gear.
Modi, however, said the players’ personal sponsorships would not be affected in any way.
“We have no issue at all with personal sponsors of players, and there should be no confusion. The players can play and keep their sponsors, and get more personal sponsors throughout the tournament,” he said.
