More updates on ICL Matches will be regularly posted here, do check back for Indian Cricket League Live Matches, ICL Scorecards , ICL Photos and ICL Statistics.

Speaking to the news sources Elworthy told that it is a honour to be nominated to run the event in 2009. He said it’s a honour as well as a challenge and he is relishing it. He told the 2007 edition was a festival of world class cricket and he hope that the next edition would be even grander than it. India won the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 Tournament 2007 in South Africa beating the Pakistanis in a scintillating final.

Cairns said that the Twenty20 Cricket (T20) format in which the league is being played is very appealing and it would be interesting to find for him how he is faring against the young Indian talent.

Based on the general scoring pattern and research of past matches, a ‘normal’ statistical curve has been developed. Regression analysis was carried out using ’spread sheet’ software and a cubical polynomial equation was used for determining the scoring pattern.

Putting all this into use, Jayadevan has generated a ‘target curve’. He also provides a ‘target table’ where the revised target can be computed depending on the percentage of total overs that were completed for different percentages of wickets. To make the entire process easy, a computer programme has been devised.

The work on the VJD System was started in 1998 and got a proper shape in 2001. Jayadevan’s system will come under closer scrutiny from the ICC before a decision is made on whether to deploy it internationally in place of the DL method.
With its inclusion in the ICL the VJD system got its shot in the arm. Renowned Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar has commended the job done by Jayadevan. As usual the BCCI is taking a closer look at the system now even when it is lying in its back yard for more than five years waiting for some one to back its credentials.

He was quoted by PTI as saying “We were expecting it. The BCCI can stoop low and do this. They tried to do it earlier as well by spreading rumours that Lara was planning to join them. However, you can see he has arrived here and will be playing,”
He said the BCCI is blowing up millions of rupees in public money on IPL, the board should instead concentrate on improving the state of affairs in domestic circuit. “Contrary to our aim of promoting domestic cricket by giving cricketers at that level opportunities and allowing them to play with international players, IPL will be using public money to pay big international stars. Why don’t they spend this money on Ranji Trophy or CK Naidu Trophy or other domestic events,” he added.

He said the ICL is doing the right thing and the BCCI has indirectly acknowledged the fact by offering money to cricketers to woo them to come back to its camp. He told that the board has failed to administer cricket in this country with transparency and now it is using every tactic to create hurdles to ICL.

Talking to the media persons the executive vice-president of Essel group Mr.Ashish Kaul termed it as a first-of-a-kind move to enable ICL matches to be viewed in over 125 countries. He said “It has never been done before. The first 30-minutes of two matches, that would be played each day from November 30 to December 16, will be available live on all our network channels so that they can be sampled by almost everyone.”

The Zee network of 25 channels has a reach of about 100 million cable and satellite and direct-to-home subscribers. Outside India, the Zee bouquet of channels, through seven feeds, reaches Europe, North America, Africa, Australia among other countries.

Zee didn’t give any surity to the advertisers about the telecast of ICL on Ten Sports a channel where Zee is an equal partner to the Taj group. Zee Sports has a very limited distribution in homes (only 20% of the cable homes) unlike Ten Sports which is available in 70% of the cable homes, this made the advertisers not to commit to the ICL.

With just 2 days to go Zee has its work cut out.

BCCI Vice-President Lalit Modi confirmed the figure, adding the tender document will be made available in a few days after some modifications are made. He further added “Broadcasters have the choice of bidding for a five or ten-year period,”.

ESPN STAR Sports, Sony Entertainment Television and Nimbus Communications have expressed interest in acquiring the rights for IPL. The IPL will have 56 matches that will be played by eight teams.

“I don’t think ICL should be blocked in any way. In fact, we need more such initiatives to groom talent. It should be treated as a career chosen by a cricketer. They (the boards) are not doing any good by putting sanctions,” told Atapattu.

Atapattu will be Leading the Delhi Jets team, in the six team Twenty20 format league scheduled to start on 30th November. Talking about the BCCI’s version of Twenty20 League the Indian Premier League (IPL), “IPL has dragged in all the current players but ICL also has fresh talent on display. That is where the difference lies.”
