IPL 2009 in South Africa is a huge success and Modi was encouraged by the fans in South Africa which made him to think about a second Twenty-20 tournament in a year to be held overseas.The IPL 2009 was actually forced to change the venue from India to South Africa due to security reasons but it took the tournament to a new level which was tremendous,Modi told the Daily Telegraph.

The ICC advised the cricket officials to start an IPL style T20 league in USA which Lalit Modi considers as a potential host.Modi said that apart from watching great cricket the Americans will have a good outing.He also added that success in South Africa gave us the feeling that the T20 tournament can be conducted anywhere in the world.
