"It is a moment of great happiness for us to announce the name of the Pune IPL team for the people of the city and cricket enthusiasts across the world," he said.

    The future IPL governing council should have people of high ethical value as well as quick business thinking. The committee should meet more frequently and clear all the doubts and transparency in the earlier deals of every month with cross checking and evaluating the deal and the other bidders. The utive committee should be actively involved in the day to day affair of the Organisation and should not act like a rubber stamp. The post of CEO or Commissioner should be not more than two years. Eminent solicitors should draft fool-proof Bye-Laws and guide-lines for all financial transactions and safeguard the places where the knee goes weak.

    This is the right time to clean the muck and rejuvenate the world famous brand name IPL with more social commitments for the uplifting of other sports and their infra-structures. There should not be any tax concessions or drawbacks. The political leaders should be distances from any sports including IPL instead include the retired & highly recognised military officials as watch-dogs.
