The legal committee of ICC has told them that ICL has the edge in case if ICC was sued by ICL. With the meeting between BCCI and ICL failed, ICL has requested ICC to review the situation during their meeting.
Excerpts from cricinfo website:
Ijaz Butt, the PCB's new chairman made serious revelations about the discussions happened in the ICC meeting. He said, ICC did discuss about the ICL and the ICC lawyers warned ICC that ICL has a very strong case and if they sue, ICC will be in trouble.
The failure prompted Kapil Dev, the ICL chairman, to warn that legal action is very likely if the ICC now doesn't respond to the league's bid for official recognition at its next board meeting. The ICL has issued a letter to the ICC to convene a board meeting after the talks with the BCCI failed.
"I think we are on very good ground as far as a legal case goes," Kapil said. "Eventually we will do that [take legal action]. We are not the ones who are enforcing bans on players or umpires."
Meanwhile ICC has refused to comment on Butt's statement. The ICC considered ICL application at the board meeting last week. BCCI requested meet ICL officials and said it will report back in writing as soon as possible. Until then, no further comment."
ICL has to wait until BCCI respond. I think ICL should give a time frame and if they don't get a response by that time, they should file a legal case against both BCCI and ICC. They should also ask for damges from BCCI.
If they get verdict in favor of ICL, every young player in ICL should sue BCCI for spoiling their career. I am totally annoyed and irritated with BCCI's behavior though I was happy with few of their decisions supporting the players and country during crucial times, I do not like this one stubborness they carry with them.
