Indian Premier League commissioner Lalit Modi expects a successful third edition of the cash-rich Twenty20 event starting on March 12.

“The preparations are in full swing and there are no hiccups. We all are ready to go. We have planned a very good opening night as well as opening ceremony with a spectacular laser and fireworks show,” Modi said.

Modi said the boycott by the TV news channels is continuing though they had accepted a new set of proposals two nights ago.

“National Broadcasters’ Association’s is a strange case. The IPL Governing Council and their representatives had a meeting two nights ago and we had agreed to allow certain amount of flexibility in their programming and amount of video footage that can be shown,” the IPL chief said.
