ICL would be a huge hit
November 29, 2007 • Indian Cricket League
The New Zealand all rounder Chris Cairns feels that the Indian Cricket League (ICL) would be a huge hit. He said even when the BCCI’s league the Indian Premier League (IPL) has more stars from the active circuit the ICL has good mix of brilliant stars from the past as well as young local talent. Cairns wasn’t happy about the way the media is projecting the ICL as a rebel league; He insisted that since the players aren’t contracted to any boards they cant be billed as rebels, ICL is just another opportunity to play cricket like any other.
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.
