English counties Friday outrightly dismissed their cricket board chairman Giles Clarke's allegations that Lalit Modi was trying to set up a parallel league in England which prompted the Indian cricket board to slap a second showcause notice on the suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner.

England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman Clarke, who is in Barbados for the World Twenty20, refused to divulge the contents of his e-mail to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
