Suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Modi is expected to seek an extension of the deadline given to him by the cricket board to file his replies to the BCCI chargesheet.
"He has asked for some documents from the BCCI to file his replies but has not got them yet. So he is likely to seek an extension today from the BCCI pending the receipt of the said documents," said sources close to him.
With the deadline for filing the reply ending today, it is not known whether BCCI will accede to his requests if and when it is received.
Modi was suspended on April 26, soon after the conclusion of the IPL final in Navi Mumbai by BCCI which sent him a showcause notice asking him to reply to a slew of charges relating to the conduct of the high-profile Twenty20 league.
Modi was alleged to have indulged in murky financial deals without the knowledge of the IPL Governing Council, bid-rigging and of behavioural pattern which was not acceptable.

Asin roped in for Kochi IPL team?
Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Shilpa Shetty, Preity Zinta, Deepika Padukone, Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif have already been spotted at the IPL matches in their different capacities — as team owners, or endorsing teams or in some cases, simply as spectators. Even our own Chennai team was endorsed by Kollywood stars during the first edition of IPL. This time around, actress Trisha was spotted at Chennai’s Chepauk stadium, supporting the CSK team.
Now the latest news is that actress Asin, who made it big in Bollywood with her debut film Ghajini, will soon be a brand ambassador for the recently formed Kochi IPL cricket team.
The Kochi IPL team is part owned by Venugopal and Shailendra Gaikwad and the man behind the scenes who put it all together was none other than Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor, who’s also an MP from Trivandrum. A source said that the organisers are convinced that Asin, who hails from Kerala, would be the right choice and a big star attraction and crowd puller for their team, which will take the field for the next season, in 2011.
When contacted Asin’s father Joseph Thottumkal said, he did not want to comment, except to say that the announcement should come from the team owners.
