The decision to postpone the CL T20 was made for logistical reasons rather than any concerns about security in India.
Organisers are planning to reschedule the eight-team event for early 2009 after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai on Wednesday, but Modi insisted the tournament would have gone ahead if an alternative venue could have been secured at short notice.
"All eight teams tried to implore us to continue with the Champions League and just change Mumbai," said Modi. "We, on our part, logistically could not replace a venue in 48 hours. We proposed the postponement."
When asked if there was any possibility of moving the event outside the country, Modi insisted that had never been an option.
He added: "We are going to reschedule it in India."
