Yes. I referred to the ICL by stitched together by Zee group and chaired by the great Kapil Dev.

@Pantoola,

IPL should not be banned but the wrong practices should be. I think players in the IPL circuit should also sign up with ICL. That will make IPL see sense.

@Vijayasarathy,

I absolutely agree with you. Lalith Modi has packaged IPL well. But it is only because it has BCCI patronage and players feared banishment if they sign up with ICL. This is absolutely bad. If you think about it, players with the Packer series met the same fate just about three decades back, but whatever innovation we see today in the one day format is the outcome of Packer series, including Channel 9 and the great visual treat we get in the form of fantastic camera angles.

@Sunder,

It is sad that BCCI is treating such greats as Kapil Dev shabbily. Even worse is the treatment meted out to the budding cricketers.

It is not only yours, it must be the feeling of millions in the country. In my eyes, BCCI looks like a business organization and in fact, Cricket now has become a real business, bigger than anything in India. It is definitely not fair on the part of BCCI to ban ICL or any other.

I think BCCI is conducting games not to promote cricket, but to make big money in a short time. Very soon they will loose big. Cricketers now a days will not bother about results, they will just play their best and we should also be prepared to accept it, since it is a company run by BCCI and we are not its share holders.

BCCI does not even respects Kapil Dev.

But this can never be a criteria to keep him anywhere near cricket anymore.

Even after stopping Saching from 20-20 I am still surprised that he had not received any strong comment from media and biggies and ofcourse bookies/cookies.
