The IPL governing council meets tomorrow to decide the fate of its controversial chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi, who has refused to step down despite allegations of financial irregularities.

There is intense speculation that Modi is set to be sacked in tomorrow's meeting as council members and the BCCI are upset with the income tax mess that the IPL finds itself in.
