Blogs ICL Bracing Itself to Lose It All
May 21st, 2009 by kapoorIn a way, you can call it an eventuality that had to strike at some time. The ICL was just too ill-fated from the very first step it took. There is just no cricketing body that can compete with the Moguls of Indian cricket — the BCCI and actually hope to compete or should I say, actually survive. This is exactly what has happened to the ICL as it had been slowly losing ground over the last two years. Now, it is official that the ICL is due to give an all-clear signal to its contracted players and staff to let them go ahead and get back to playing for their domestic home teams at least if not international cricket. However, just as this news is settling-in, another version of a rebel cricket league in the Americas is gaining ground. It is being said that it might see the support of the Indian diaspora that are cash-rich and settled abroad and do not necessarily need the support of the BCCI for giving them T20 entertainment. So far, it seems the IPL has no real competition in terms of international cricketing leagues.
