Indian Cricket League seems to be a rebel group or organisation started by some good old players like Kapil Dev. It basically works out to be something like the counties that exist in England and which pay the players good revenue as compared to BCCI. Another important point to note would be that there will be no politics involved like in BCCI. It will more professional and would cater to Indian cricket in the long run - have your say guys. What do you think?? Is it worth the effort?? Should the players joining ICL get chance to play in International cricket representing India??

It is a complement and not a threat,we are playing cricket and not act as terrorists.ICL will give a all Indian representation, not like presently they are doing.Keeping all money and enjoying themselves and not using it for the betterment of cricket.certain state players are selected,nobody from Orissa,MP,UP.I do not think Mr.Kapil Dev will support such a set up unless this project is viable

Rightly said. At his level I am sure Kapil Dev is quite sensible and will never get into anything that may hamper the development of Indian Cricket! Thanks for your opinion!

ICL is a rebel group started by Suresh Chandra (owner of Zee TV). Kapil is in the panel of executive committee of ICL. I think ICL is a good initiative and is required to keep BCCI clean and honest. BCCI has been too much about power hungry administrators and less about players and the game of cricket. There is too much bureaucracy and politics in BCCI and that makes ICL a sureshot winner. With such high profile players from the junior ranks joining ICL, the BCCI is worried and at least now I hope they can take some sedate steps to improve the state of the game in the country. Cheers!
