ICL Was Asked to Shut Down: Kapil Dev

After the meeting between BCCI and ICL failed, the ICL committee is thinking about the next course of action. They have sent a letter to ICC asking them to review the situation again during their board meeting as the meeting with BCCI did not go well.

Kapil came out open and said that "BCCI has asked ICL to shut down its Twenty-Twenty League" for starting the discussion. Yes, they asked us close the Indian Cricket League first. Otherwise, they are not ready to start the discussion.

Kapil said, this is not the right approach as he expected possible solutions to be worked out during the meeting. But BCCI wanted the shut down of ICL, which is not fair.

Kapil said, other options does include legal action are considered.

I also feel that BCCI is being unfair to ICL. They are the one who started this T20 cricket which forced BCCI to start competitive IPL. Trying to knock them out is not a solution, because it would defenitly impact lot of young players who can shine for India in the future.

BCCI, please be relaxes and allow the competition. Else, you trying to monopoly the game will ruin you one day! Life is a cycle and you better be expecting a recession in you soon.

BCCI and ICL Talk Fail!

The push by the ICC to BCCI to have a talk with ICL happened today, but did not producce any result. The official spokes person said that the talks fail and no further meetings were scheduled.

The ICL team were frustrated saying that, "BCCI did not come with the mind to talk. We thought they would discuss a solution to lift the ban on players, sharing venues, etc. but they had an unreasonable expectations."

The meeting lasted for just 15-20 minutes and BCCI came up with offers that were simply not acceptable, said, ICL Officials.

The ICL officials are left with no options except to take the legal route using Rule 32 of the ICC Operating Manaul which deals with authorized official cricket like Hong Kong Sixes, Stanford 20/20.

Let us hope Cricket LIVES!
