In its place, the SLC  will conduct the regular inter-provincial Twenty20 tournament featuring  five domestic sides for this year, without involving foreign players. The SLPL hit its first roadblock when the BCCI refused to allow Indian  players to take part. The BCCI had withheld its permission on the  grounds that Somerset Entertainment Ventures, which owned the commercial  rights for the event, would be handling the contracts for international  players and that could lead to complications should disputes arise over  payments. In order to assuage the Indian board, SLC was willing to back  the Indian players' contracts so that their financial interests were  protected, but that was not enough to satisfy the BCCI. The Indian board  has also claimed that former IPL chairman Lalit Modi had a hand in the  event, but SLC and Somerset repeatedly denied the allegation, as did  Modi. The BCCI's decision means the tournament did not have a broadcaster for  the lucrative Indian market, a situation that made it much more  difficult for the SLPL to find a secure financial footing. The tournament suffered another blow when the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC)  committee that created the tournament was dissolved last week by Sri  Lanka's sports ministry and a new panel was appointed in its place. The  new interim committee was set to meet with  Somerset on Friday to  discuss the future of the tournament, but it has emerged that it has  been pushed to next year. cricinfo</blockquote>
