Ravi Shastri has been summoned by a law enforcement agency probing alleged financial irregularities in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the former India all-rounder confirmed Thursday. He has been asked to help the Enforcement Directorate over questions relating to the lucrative T20 league in it's first three editions as he was on the governing council.
"It's a routine thing," Shastri told AFP at Lord's, where he is working as a television commentator during the ongoing first Test between England and India. "Everyone who was on gc (governing council) has been asked to help with this inquiry," he added. Earlier, the Press Trust of India reported Shastri had been called to attend the directorate's offices in Mumbai next week.
Lalit Modi, the driving force behind the money-spinning IPL, was removed as the chairman of the tournament last year.
