ICL versus BCCI
The word of war between Indian Cricket League(ICL) and the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) is getting intense. The recent interim order passed by the Delhi High Court on the suit filed by ICL boosted the latter's morale. The court has ordered both the Federal Government and BCCI to come up with their replies against the suit. BCCI has warned its players that any player found aligned with ICL will be barred from playing cricket for India. No doubt, this is a harsh order issued by BCCI to its players. The Delhi High Court, on the other hand, has delivered its observation that the BCCI has no right to issue such statement that a player may lose his job if he is found to be aligned with ICL. Meanwhile, BCCI has sacked Kapil Dev, the legendary Indian cricketer, from the honourary post of chairman of the National Cricket Academy because of his joining ICL. Madan Lal, another veteran of Indian cricket, who is now holding the post of cricket coach of ICL termed the ruling as relief for ICL.
Bishen Singh Bedi has said that ICL is not giving guns and arms to the players! They are just asking them to play cricket! Why BCCI should lose sleep over it? (DS 28 August). I think competition is always good for a person to judge his/her worth.
In Bangladesh, we should also start something like ICL to judge and develop the capability of our cricketers in order to develop their skills.
