Shashi Tharoor on Saturday said he was looking forward to a 'thorough inquiry' into the Indian Premier League imbroglio, which cost him his position as Minister of State for External Affairs.

 "Looking forward to thorough inquiry into the IPL. If my resignation leads to real reform, it will be worthwhile. Our cricket shld (should) be clean," he said on his twitter page early on Saturday morning.

"It's been a rough week......." he tweeted and once again thanked his supporters. "Overwhelmed by the support I've been receiving.........Thank u (you) all."
