Mogul Modi predicts death of international game

LONDON - Indian Premier League founder Lalit Modi believes there will come a time when players will earn $1 million per game while warning that the traditional program of matches between countries "will disappear".

A Twenty20 domestic franchise competition launched a decade ago, which has spawned a host of imitators worldwide, the IPL is now the most lucrative of all cricket tournaments.

"The IPL is here to stay," Modi told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper in an interview published on Thursday. "It will be the dominant sporting league in the world."
