And CA, IIRC.No, it's completely the brainchild of the BCCI.
Why not? Do not call me a fanatical BCCI supporter, but the IPL is the rival to the ICL and so why would the BCCI allow ICL players to participate in an event which contains IPL teams...Doesn't make it right though
There's already much about the BCCI that is morally wrong. Countless amounts of stuff.Doesn't make it right though
I have no problem with their stance. BCCI get most things wrong, but they are right here: why should they help their competition out?Doesn't make it right though
It legitimizes ICL by allowing their players to play in a 'BCCI-sponsored' tournament.How the hell is allowing (for example) Paul Nixon to play for Leicestershire in a Champions League helping the ICL in any way??
All they are doing by blocking these players is harming what could be a very good tournament.
That would kill off all the domestic Twenty20 around the world. All the top players would just choice the IPL for the extra money. Basically you will have Victoria 2nds playing Chennai in the Championship League.its been hurried through it should have been given an extra year. and a policy set up stating that no player can play for more than one 20/20 team at domestic level., therefore for example paul nixon could play for his ICL team but not his 20/20 team back in enfland but could play all other varitions of game at his county.
The Dan Carter situation is prime example of why you allow them to play short period in these said competitions and still come back and play in their home domestic comps. If it was a choice between one or the other, they would all choice the IPL. Also even though their is only 4 internationals per team. Chennai used 8 international players all season and the number is likely to increase next season, as club look for more options if some players fail, rather then having all their eggs on one basket.it may seem that way but the ipl already has a policy about the number int. they are allowed.. is 4 or 5. regardless thats the direction you have to go.. if chenni or who ever become the manchester united of 20/20 so what..
cricket really got to stop this pity allegiance thing .. and allow market forces to dictate the out come.. why should a player be punished if hes good enough he can decide where he wants to play.. you should see the allowances the NZRU has given Dan Carter to play in france.. the money is getting to big for them to stop all blacks wantig to play in europe..
There were a few mentioned that didn't have ICL players contracted. The option here of course is to just not select them during the Twenty20 season.Well that rules out practically all the counties.
dan carter will not be playing for his domestic team canterbury or his franchise team in the super 14 in 09 at all..The Dan Carter situation is prime example of why you allow them to play short period in these said competitions and still come back and play in their home domestic comps.

I think many domestic players from all the countries suck, when you put them vs. international players.Quite glad we haven't been deemed good enough to have our teams allowed in yet many Indian domestic players simply suck. I enjoy the irony that the IPL will happily take our internationals. Hope the whole thing collapses. Really hate this club thing going through cricket atm.
Doh. Thats what happens when you listen to radio stations.I think many domestic players from all the countries suck, when you put them vs. international players.
In any case, you're assuming New Zealand has been excluded because the quality of their cricket isn't good enough. It isn't. New Zealand does not generate enough revenue for it to be worth it.
Channel Ryan 'I gunner then u' Campbell.Anyone know what the coverage for this tournament will be like?
Particularly interested in Australia's coverage.
I saw Modi talking about this a couple of months ago and he said if there's a clash then the IPL team and the home team basically bid how much they want that player for the tournament, so if it's a key player for the IPL side then I doubt they'd be playing for their home team while at the same time they will still be generously compensated.There already an official rule that you have to play for your home domestic side over county or IPL teams.
