The Editors Guild of India (EGI) and the Sports Journalists’ Federation of India (SJFI) on Friday outrightly rejected the “appalling” accreditation norms put forward by the Indian Premier League (IPL) authorities.In a letter addressed to the BCCI President Sharad Pawar and IPL Chairman Lalit Modi, the Guild said, “With deep regret and dismay, we are forced to point out that there are prohibitive conditions in the terms and conditions attached with the (accreditation) form…These conditions are unprecedented and unacceptable to the Indian media, to say the least.”
Both EGI and SJFI were irked by the conditions which state that the media cannot use image or photograph in any other publication even if it belongs to the same organisation.

Dear Sir,
Greetings.I would like to congratulate the IPL and Mr.Lalit Modi for the fantastic show that they have put up.
After going through 14 rounds,it would have been logical,just and good if the top two teams had met in the grand finals.Of course,this would have meant foregoing the revenue and everything connected with the semi finals.
Just think about this.A team struggles to make the semi finals and then with two good or lucky performances manages to win the cup.on the other hand,the team which has dominated the tournament for 6 weeks ends up falling by the wayside.
I shall be very happy to hear a word from Mr.Modi.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
A.Gerald
