MUMBAI:
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has convened a meeting
with the Indian Cricket League (ICL) and the BCCI on 21 February
in South Africa to take a decision on the 'rebel' league's
application for official recognition.
The
issue was discussed at the ICC board meeting in Perth last
month. ICL was offered a masters/veterans tournament as a
compromise formula. However, the ICL is sticking to its demand
of being granted "authorised unofficial cricket"
status under existing ICC rules.
However
they are open to providing certain assurances - particularly
a guarantee against poaching players contracted to their respective
national boards.
Around
150 players in the ICL have been banned by their respective
boards and the ICC is keen that the matter gets sorted out
in the meeting.
