Modi threatens to terminate Australian players’ contracts

MUMBAI: Chairman Indian Premier League Lalit Modi has threatened to terminate contracts of Australian cricketers and ban State sides from the Champions League if they fail to release their players for the third edition of the T20 event.

Dates of the last round of the Australia''s domestic competition -- Sheffield Shield -- and the mega BCCI event are clashing but Modi wants States sides to release their contracted players for the competition.

Modi said they respect players'' commitments to their countries but would not mind if players skip domestic duties for IPL.

The IPL 2010 season is in March-April, when a lot of domestic tournaments will still be on. This is a one-off situation. The IPL requires No-Objection Certificates from the home boards for players to participate in IPL.
