The ECB is currently seeking investors for The Hundred franchises, the short form cricket competition and are selling a 49% stake that values them at up to £150m each. Today's guest Lalit Modi disagrees. The founder of the Indian Premier League explains exclusively to Unofficial Partner why: “Based on the information memorandum a 100% stake in a team would be between £5m and £9m [for] outside London teams, and maximum, if one really wants a trophy asset, is London teams closer to £25m.”Earlier this year, Modi was involved in a $1bn (£747m) offer to buy the entire competition – with the intention of turning it into a T20 tournament – which was rebuffed. When an unrelated bid of £400m for a 75% stake was also rejected last year Richard Thompson, the ECB's chairman, said it would take a bid of “a few billion” to convince them to sell.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Forget business school - this week's episode of Here Comes Pod is an education in how to run a massive organisation. Etienne de Villiers joined me to discuss a career spent at world famous media and sports operations like The Walt Disney Company, the ATP and the IPL, with some fascinating insights and stories from the front line.Born in apartheid-era South Africa, Etienne's early career included working for the legendary Sol Kerzner at Satbel and negotiating with FW de Klerk to desegregate cinemas in South Africa. He then moved to Disney to manage the international TV operation, which grew from $15m to $1bn in annual turnover during his tenure. Senior roles at the BBC and ITV followed but we focussed on his experience in professional sports, including the challenges he faced as chairman of the ATP and his work with old business partner Lalit Modi in bringing the IPL to South Africa.  If you want to know the key to success at Disney as it built its international business in the 1990s, how and why the IPL is a unique phenomenon that is so hard to replicate, and how Paul Simon discovered diamonds in a South African recording studio as well as on the soles of his shoes, listen on and enjoy!You can find Here Comes Pod on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon or most other podcast outlets.

A cricket match played on April 18th 2008 between two city-based teams in India marks a historic moment in sports. It was the beginning of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a radically new tournament within the shortest format of cricket. Spearheaded by a flamboyant businessman, the IPL was to become for cricket what the National Football League (NFL) is to American football: an exciting prime-time entertainment for a new, global fanbase. And that worked – at first. Then the IPL's founder is thrown out, scandal rocks the league, and even diehard fans turn away from their beloved sport. In this episode, host Gabriela Cowperthwaite takes you back to the exciting origins of the league and behind the scenes to how the IPL rallies to save itself. Learn how a reformed league with a newly-appointed representative team restored transparency to the game, and how rival cricket boards became allies to stage a tournament during an even bigger crisis: the global pandemic. Listen to exciting analysis from Prakash Wakankar, a cricket commentator with the BBC, and hear from Simon Hughes, former English cricketer and co-author of "A New Innings," a book about the IPL. Also hear from "A New Innings" co-author Manoj Badale, lead owner of the IPL team Rajasthan Royals, and from Shane Watson, the former Aussie cricketer and founder of T20 Stars. Plus, Rehmatullah Sheikh, Teamistry's Story Producer and a massive cricket fan, joins in to talk about his experience with the IPL and the reforms that helped it bounce back from disgrace.Teamistry is an original podcast from Atlassian.

The two powerhouses defined the formation and growth of IPL, cricket's most successful league, which also became the reason for their swift downfall. In this episode, Ayaz Memon fills in details of this ongoing war which has even necessitated the intervention of the Supreme Court of India to get the BCCI to restructure itself.

In this episode, Naren and Chuck discuss, primarily, the Greek crisis and what it really means, if anything at all. Apart from that, we also talk about Lalit Modi (ooh!), Rahul Yadav (yay!) and Arindam Chaudhari.

The Newslaundry team - and we are in full strength this time – discusses Lalit Modi, his love for emojis, and his never ending revelations. Then, we talk about Outlook’s “eye candy” piece and whether it warranted legal action. We also discuss if the hijab can be a “feminist statement” as some have recently claimed in the much talked about Twitter debate initiated by the feminist handle Genderlog.

We continue to the race discussion this week with ESPNCricinfo's Firdose Moonda. A week ago, when it was leaked that race played a hand in the South African World Cup semi final side, we tackled it from a white South African perspective. Firdose helps us understand the issue from a 'person of colour' perspective. In the chat, we ask Firdose some tough questions such as: Are quotas just another form of apartheid? - Why is Cricket South Africa so evasive about the subject - Is this the best way to promote cricket to all races - Is Philander just a quota player - Should India have quotas due to centuries of the caste system - Why have Cricket South Africa shunned her? - and of course, we also tackle the Scott Muller Award!Does it get any bigger than this? Mr Lalit Modi. The King of Controversy The man who, while at the BCCI, created the biggest T20 tournament in the world in the IPL Also the man whom the BCCI banned for life. I asked you guys for some questions and you didn't fail to deliver. I put every hard one at him. You need to listen to this to truly appreciate this man. NOTE - POST PUBLISHING THIS INTERVIEW, I RECEIVED LEGAL LETTERS REQUESTING US TO REMOVE REFERENCES TO CERTAIN PLAYERS GIVEN UPCOMING CRIMINAL CASES. THIS HAS BEEN DONE. THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW HAS REMAINED INTACT AND IS JUST AS BRUTAL! Is he a hypocrite? - Does he regret killing of the ICL and taking away Kapil Dev's pension? - Any truth to any of the charges the BCCI convicted him of? - Modi vs Srinivasan - What did he discuss with the ECB when he tried to start a rebel league? - Mudgal - Who is in the sealed envelope? - What is Subhash Chandra and the Essel Group really planning? - Are they corrupt too? - How many of his 800k twitter followers did he buy? Of course, he also nominates a winner for the Scott Muller Award! This is about as awesome as a cricket podcast can get. Please leave us a review and share with your mates on social media. Finally, make sure you listen to the outtakes.

Thanks to money, media rights and commercialisation, cricket, a game of proud tradition, has been transformed into a multi-billion dollar sporting commodity. The cradle of this cricketing revolution has been India, home of the Indian Premier League – the world's richest cricket tournament. Hardtalk speaks to Lalit Modi, the creator of the Indian Premier League. He has since been banished from cricket, and his native India, amid allegations of corruption and dodgy dealing. Is greed killing cricket?

Jonathan Shainin, senior editor at The Caravan.   "Working in an environment that's foreign, where you have to kind of think through a lot of things from the ground up...I find it to be really stimulating to have to interrogate the assumptions that you have as an editor about what's interesting and what's not interesting, what's a good story and what's a bad story, what's the story that's been done a million times already. When you get out of a place that is your place, you have to kind of think through some things in a fresh way. And that can be really productive."   Show notes: @jonathanshainin The Caravan The Caravan on Longform [8:00] The National [13:00] India: A Million Mutinies Now (V.S.

In 2008, when entertainment magnate Lalit Modi launched the Indian Premier League, he took a title that was new to the world of cricket: Commissioner. Modi’s idea for the structure of the IPL had American origins. He had studied in the United States in the mid-1980s, where he encountered the model of professional teams not as clubs rooted to their communities but as franchises held by wealthy owners, and thus saleable for handsome profit. In American professional sports, each cartel of these franchises is led by a single, powerful executive. Roger Goodell of the NFL and David Stern of the NBA represent the model of the Commissioner as CEO: they punish players, coaches, and even team owners for violations of rules, but more importantly, they work to increase the reach and revenue of the league and its teams. As Lalit Modi recognized, a league led by a single Commissioner, rather than a fractious governing board, ensured that decision-making would be streamlined, negotiations with sponsors and networks would be straightforward, and profits for all of the owners would increase. The model of the league Commissioner comes from America’s oldest professional team sport: baseball. Amidst scandal in the game and rancor among team owners, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was appointed Commissioner in 1920 and given extensive powers, in an attempt to save baseball from itself. The title of Andrew Zimbalist‘s book, In the Best Interests of Baseball: Governing the National Pastime (University of Nebraska Press, 2013), refers to the mandate that Landis and his successors received from the owners: they were to ensure that the game would not be sullied by the corruption of players or the greed of owners. But there was one problem: baseball’s commissioners were appointed by and served at the pleasure of the team owners. In the decades following Landis’ appointment, there was constant struggle between the holder of the office and the owners who paid his salary over the power and role of the Commissioner. The story that Andy tells in his book is the evolution of this baseball institution, from Judge Landis to current Commissioner Bud Selig, a former team owner who now governs the game in the interest of the owners. Bud Selig has been much maligned by baseball fans, including the host of this podcast. But Andy offers a new view of the Commissioner. The Robert A. Woods Professor of Economics at Smith College, Andy is the author of many books on the economics of baseball, and he has served as a consultant on various matters related to baseball, for teams, municipal councils, and even the Office of the Commissioner. He has been a strong critic of Selig, but his overall appraisal of the Commissioner is favorable. Baseball is stronger and more stable now than it was twenty years ago. The question is: what will happen when the current, strong Commissioner steps aside? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We recorded this episode a day before Modi was suspended. This podcast also talks about how the Mobile service providers in India have found new ways to milk the devotional customers where you could directly connect with God through an SMS. Aditya has some interesting examples. In Jammu and Kashmir, the government almost succeeded in banning the use of bulk SMSs for the fear of spreading rumors which could cause unnecessary panic.
