The interim chief of the Indian Premier League has promised a “bigger, better and transparent” tournament next year.
Chirayu Amin was brought in after Lalit Modi was suspended following allegations of corruption. Modi denies any wrongdoing.
Amin said: “The cleaning up is already happening. My job is to run IPL in the most transparent manner.”
He revealed that there would be some changes to next year’s event, including scrapping the controversial after-match parties where people pay up to $1,000 to mingle with cricketers, fashion models and Bollywood stars.
"I don't know about the cheerleaders [a regular attraction at IPL matches] but the IPL [party] nights will be stopped," he continued.
"IPL's brand image is strong and nobody can touch that. It's a storm but it will pass."
In a separate interview, Amin admitted that all members of the IPL governing council "are responsible for what it is happening".
"Certain details were not disclosed to us and we trusted Lalit Modi to act in good faith for the betterment of the game,” Amin added. “So I must admit that the governing council could have been more vigilant.”
