Karachi: Miffed at the "hostile" statements from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) officials against the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to put on hold India’s all future bilateral series against Sri Lanka.

According to confidential documents obtained by PTI relating to a recent meeting between officials of the two Boards, the BCCI has made it clear that until the SLC changes its present hostile attitude towards the BCCI, all tours by the Indian team in the FTP till 2012 stand unconfirmed.

Documents show that the IPL Chairman, Lalit Modi, and other BCCI officials were extremely unhappy with some of the statements made by the SLC officials, particularly its President Arjuna Ranatunga, about the BCCI and the IPL.

"Mr. Modi and Mr. Niranjan Shah were very puzzled and shocked at the attitude of the SLC towards the BCCI and had serious concerns with regards to some of the press statements which had been released by some SLC officials," the document stated.

"Further, they were very curious to find out the hostile manner in which the SLC mentioned BCCI/ IPL."

The meeting was attended by Modi and other BCCI officials with a delegation of the SLC including Sidat Wettimuny.

The documents state that the Indian Board had also decided to withdraw the $40 million bailout package offer to SLC as it is not happy that the SLC chairman had decided to make public what was a confidential offer.

The Indian officials mentioned a damaging comment from Ranatunga in Dubai stating BCCI was trying to buy Sri Lankan cricket with the bailout package proposal.
