Facing the heat from BCCI & ICC, they have survived and see the standard. Its really awesome. My priority is always with ICL. Let BCCI & ICC stay firm on their decision to avoid ICL. It will put more pressure on ICL to perform well and this in return will provide us with excellent cricket & some good sport & sportmen.
All the best. My personal request to ICL, please do all the things possible from your end to irritate BCCI & ICC. Make a very standard organization in competition to BCCI. No more monopolies.
Also I would take the initiative to request Mr. Subash Chandra to please provide a helping hand in developing other sports like Hockey & Football. We have the tallent but we need to work on them. "Sunar hi alsi heere ki parkh jaanta hai", this stand for Mr. Subash Chandra. He should take the initiative & be rest assured it will turn out to be a big business prospect also as nowadays our NXG is diverting their minds towards these sports also. So all the best to ZEE group and hope you will bring back the sports train of India back on the tracks.

i agree with you kishore. well done ICL team
i too would like other sports to develop more... zee sports is supporting I-league (football) which no other channel is ready to telecast. soo good going Mr. Subash Chandra, but u must know that he needs support from like minded people or more indrustrial houses.
Mr. Subash Chandra has given these unwanted youth who wud never played proffi-cricket a chance not to mention the 100's other people who organise grounds man and support staff.
they should increase the teams and rope in more teams in other countries, form local clubs with the help of local buisness groups, so dat everyone is involved. not just big Buisness people who r not connected with the real India or Am admi.
cheers!
it may not hv the backing of the ICC or big Bullys BCCI, but for the common man and underdogs ICL is hope.

Absolutely correct Kishore,
Instead of converting millionares into multi millionares, the same money can be spent to encourage talented players and inturn they can earn their lively hood. We should spit on these idiots who are running BCCI...THUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

WELL SAID.
We should also spit at SRK, Akshay Khan, Vijay Mallya, Mukesh Ambani and others for taking the side of BCCI and not supporting KAPIL - who knows & cares for Indian Cricket.
HYPOCRITES - YOU ALL JUST WANT MONEY & FAME THAN PROPERITY OF INDIAN CRICKET.

Well Stuart Binny (S/O Roger Binny) just misses the cut the moment..he had one magical innings agaist the Kolkata Tigers of 44 runs from 19 balls chasing ... under pressure..Dont get suprized if he gets selected

What about Ranjit Khirid... Mumbai Champs... he is a V good utility Player. Always Economical and also a handy Bat down the Order @ No 7.. a Good All Ronder...
It is maybe too soon after a very good current tournament...but hey, why not? What ICL should now do is start a parellel Indian team. Although it will not get the overall support of the nation, it will soon start registering with BCCI as well as other countries, as even their countries will start having sqauds. For example, NZ almost have a base for a sqaud with Vincent, Marshall, Bond, Macmillan, Parore and Harris(bit old)...Australia has older players though. Just wait till cricketers from WI and NZ start coming in. Also SA as they also have that black white issue and players are looking for alternatives. England is comparatively safe... I wish all the best to ICL and hope it becomes a powerful league and provide security to domestic cricketers as they are doing now. Let BCCI look after needy cricketers only, like, Dhoni, Tendulkar, Yuvraj, Dravid and rest of the gang. My like to support the small guy.

Mr Bhalerao...so you consider only international players as cricketers? From what I have seen of ICL, there are number of very talented 20-24 year old Indian cricketers making a name. Not that it matters to people like you, but there are guys like Raviraj Patil, Jhunjhunwala, Absolem, Nechim, Dholpure, Murtaza, Rayudu etc etc who are doing very very well. Ignorant guys like you make BCCI what it is today by shunning anything that is as noble as ICL,as it really helps out domestic cricketers to make some name and money. All power to ICL. I will watch IPL, but my support will always be for ICL. Dhoni does not need my support, the guys above do.
