Indian Premier League Chairman Lalit Modi today denied media reports that the Australian cricketers would have their contracts terminated and the teams would be barred from Champions Trophy if they prefer domestic cricket to next year's IPL.
"Media reports appearing today, stating that the IPL is threatening to tear up and throw away contracts of overseas players are absolutely untrue and baseless," Modi said in a statement.
"We are aware that this year a part of the IPL Season 2010 does overlap with domestic tournaments and given that this is a one-off situation, we will be considerate," the IPL chief said.
"While the IPL can ask the players to fulfill their contractual obligations, we want to work out a constructive solution with the consent of all the cricket boards to resolve the issue at the earliest," he added.
