The England and Wales Cricket Board have threatened counties with exclusion from cricket's new equivalent of football's Champions League if they allow their players to join the rebel Indian Cricket League.
The ECB are supporting the Indian Board of Control, who have outlawed the ICL, which is due to start this month, and established their own Twenty20 competition, the Indian Premier League, which is scheduled to get underway next spring.
The ECB have already warned English players that they could jeopardise their chances of playing for England if they sign up to play in the ICL.
Now the ECB have also put pressure on the counties by warning them that their participation in the Champions League, which is due to be staged in India next October with a prize fund of £2.3 million, could be threatened if they have players contracted to the ICL.
Ian Smith, the Professional Cricketers' Association lawyer, said: "The ECB seem to be going further in supporting the Indian Board over the ICL than any other board and it is not clear to us why. We would like some clarification as to why."
England, along with South Africa, Australia and India, will provide two qualifiers for the Champions League from the domestic Twenty20 competition. The prize money on offer far outweighs anything available in county cricket, where the top prize is £100,000 for the winners of the County Championship.
So far only two English players, Leicestershire's Paul Nixon and Darren Maddy, of Warwickshire, have signed to play in the ICL. But two Ireland internationals, Warwickshire's Boyd Rankin and Niall O'Brien, of Northamptonshire, have also been recruited.
An International Cricket Council delegation, in Pakistan to look at the organisation of next year's Champions Trophy, cut short their trip yesterday because of the imposition of a state of emergency.
Having visited Lahore and Sheikhupura, the delegation was due to go to Rawalpindi and Karachi, the other venues which will host the Champions Trophy practice and main matches.
President Pervez Musharraf imposed a state of emergency, suspending the constitution and restricting media activity.

ICL has it all: Money, stars. And cricket
Indian cricket has witnessed a disputed opinion on the Indian Cricket League (ICL) Twenty20 for quite some time now. There has been intense speculation on whether the ICL would turn into reality, with the BCCI opposing it and getting other cricket boards to oppose it too.
But despite everything, ICL kicks off on Friday, November 30, at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium here.
If cricket is all about cheering for the underdog, there hasn’t been an underdog like the ICL. From overseas stars to domestic recruits, from stars of yesteryears to some of the biggest names in Indian cricket history, people have braved bans to be here.
The first match pits the local team — Chandigarh Lions — against Delhi Jets. The prize money in the 17-day tournament is a whopping Rs 15 crore, and the team that finishes last also takes home Rs 85 lakh. The man of the match gets Rs 3.75 lakh per match.
Apart from the Chandigarh Lions and Delhi Jets, the teams participating are Kolkata Tigers, Chennai Superstars, Mumbai Champs and Hyderabad Heroes.
India’s captain of the 1983 World Cup winning team Kapil Dev, presently the Chairman of the ICL Board says: “The ICL is in a stage where one feels like that Test-match player who has butterflies in the stomach. But we have tried our best to get here. There have been several obstacles on the way, but we fought our way.”
This means there will be a lot at stake for the likes of Kapil Dev and other former India players like Ajit Wadekar, Erapalli Prasanna, Madan Lal, Sandeep Patil, Ashok Malhotra, Balwinder Sandhu, Rajesh Chauhan, who are associated with and support the ICL in some form or the other.
The focus of attention will be the legendary West Indian player Brian Lara who has landed here after much speculation, along with Inzamam ul-Haq, Craig McMillan, Chris Chairns, Nathan Astle, Stuart Law, Marvan Atapattu and the likes.
All the players promise to make this a cricket carnival. The opening ceremony on Friday evening is expected to have performances by Bollywood biggies like Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Aamir Khan.
A big screen has been installed for a more colourful ambience and it is reason enough that hardly any of the 7000 tickets are available for the opening day’s ceremony and match.
Pitted along with the India-Pakistan Test series, the organisers feel people will definitely watch the matches on TV as the ICL matches start at 6 pm, much after the day’s play in the Test would have ended.
The next couple of weeks will tell if the ICL can bring a new start?

The Launch of the Jerseys
It was a fashionable evening at ‘Poison’ in Bandra when the ICL crew decided to unveil the jerseys and the teams who were slated to participate in the inaugural 20-20 Indian Championship. We were there, and witnessed first hand the colourful attires the players were going to sport at the event.
We were anxiously waiting to know which cities would represent the league in the introductory season, and I was happy to know that Mumbai was one of them. Slogans of the Mumbai Champs, Kolkata Tigers, Delhi Jets, Hyderabad Heroes, Chennai Superstars and Chandigarh Lions were uncovered and it prompted a huge cheer in the assembled spirited ones.
The sizzling models made their way out to walk the ramp wearing the teams’ jerseys. The designer of which is the celebrated Indian fashion guru Manish Arora. He cuddled around all the models and offered an unruffled snap – one that summed up the night. Rohan Gavaskar and Robin Morris were sipping their drinks and conversing with the likes of Kapil Dev, Kiran More, Ayaz Memon (senior journalist) and Himanshu Mody (Business Head, ICL).
Well we had a blast myself watching these colourful people on their starry night.

Indian Cricket League to try new rules in Twenty20 championship
The rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) will try a few new rules in the Twenty20 cricket matches to be played in its inaugural championship to be held at the Tau Dev Lal sports complex, 15 km from Chandigarh, starting Friday.
"We are going to experiment with a few new rules in this championship. Let us see how these turn out to be," ICL chairman and cricket legend Kapil Dev said. One of the new rules to be used in ICL's T-20 championship will be not to allow overthrow runs to the batsmen if the ball hits the stumps when a fielder is trying to run out a batsman. In case the ball hits the stumps in the run out attempt and the batsman has reached the crease, no overthrow runs can be taken.
However, if the ball does not hit the stumps, overthrow runs will be allowed, as per International Cricket Council (ICC) rules.

ICL camp upbeat ahead of launch
Walk into the Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Panchkula and you’d think a rock concert is about to hit town. Volunteers go about their work in a relaxed atmosphere - light towers being set up, temporary stands erected, lawn-mowers puffing away - and it’s tough to miss a big dais mounted at the end of the ground. Listen carefully and names of Bollywood actresses like Kareena Kapoor and Yana Gupta, and pop groups like Band of Boys float in the air.
However, cricket tournaments, especially massively-hyped, apparently path-breaking, ones like the Indian Cricket League, deserve better. The stadium is too small - almost like one used for college games - and the outfield dangerously patchy. The organisers prefer to take refuge in the “weather hampering our plans” line but that couldn’t have been true for seven months.
The vibes, though, are all gung-ho. Sandeep Patil, the former Indian middle-order batsman currently coaching the Mumbai Champs, says it’s a “miracle” that the stadium has been ready in 28 days and adds, “its the same outfield for all teams”. Himanshu Modi, the ICL business head, is also upbeat. “We kept in mind many things while building the stadium. We needed to make allowance for scaling it up later. It’s an architecturally well-designed stadium.”
Late in the afternoon, Brian Lara, clothed in a garish orange Mumbai Champs suit, walked onto the outfield, one which was being treated with urea and other fertilisers. There was some doubt over Lara’s participation in the tournament, with the talk of him shifting to the BCCI’s Indian Premier League. Modi, however, laughed off these suggestions. “The reason I kept quiet was that I know our friends [BCCI] were trying to reach him out. I was having a daily laugh with him on the phone. And they tried whatever they could but a contract is a contract. And people want to honour it.”
This isn’t Modi’s first run-in with the Indian board. In fact what irks some in the ICL camp is the board’s interference with every step. “How will you feel if someone was constantly stopping you from doing something interesting?” says Erapalli Prasanna, the former Indian offspinner who’s currently a match referee at this tournament.
Modi says the BCCI’s actions only endorse the good work that the ICL is doing. “It’s almost like they’re saying, ‘What they do, we will also follow’. We did ICL, they did IPL. They are endorsing our own format. We keep getting these individual comments in the press - from Rajeev Shukla, Lalit Modi, IS Bindra, Niranjan Shah - but officially from the BCCI has ICL got a letter till date? Not one. Have I written letters to them? Yes, three. I’ve not got a single official reply signed from their secretary. We’re just asking them to take an official stance. Officially our members have heard only from their state associations. Like the Cricket Association of Bengal not allowing entry into their stadium etc. But nothing from the BCCI.”
A few fans mill about near the impressive practice area, most waiting to get a glimpse of Lara. He has a few knocks against throw-downs from Rajesh Chauhan, the former Indian offspinner. “We’ve had a positive response to ticket sales,” said Modi, hoping that the presence of international stars will attract an audience. “I’m sure the response will only get better because people who come for the first game will see the Bollywood entertainment that is planned.
“We’ve invited filmstars, politicians and other VIPs. The Haryana chief minister is the chief guest on the opening day. He will be addressing the audience. Kareena Kapoor will be dancing too. Yana Gupta is scheduled to perform on one of the days. We’ll have our Sa Re Ga Ma Pa stars (winners of the television reality show) too. The Band of Boys will play almost every day.”
There promises to be some entertaining cricket shows as well. One of the members of the commentary team, former Australian left-arm bowler Mike Whitney, said he might be moving around in the crowd and “having a bit of fun chatting to the spectators”.
Modi makes no qualms about entertainment being their USP. “It’s like our singing contests. We make money out if it but provide singers with a platform to showcase their talents. We hope the cricketers take the chance.” At the end of it all Modi and team will hope they can turn around to the spectators and repeat what Lara asked on the day he retired: “Did I entertain you?” In the answer may lie the success or failure of this tournament.

ICL: The future of Indian cricket is here
The Mumbai Champs team bus started on its first promotional drive to roll out the Indian Cricket League (ICL) bandwagon. One thing stood out. The slogan read: "ICL, the future of Indian cricket".
"I got the ICL offer from Kiran (More), who wanted me to begin first as a talent scout," says Rajesh Chauhan, former India off-spinner. He is now the assistant coach to Sandeep Patil with the Champs. The 40-year-old Chauhan still looks in great shape and is eager to share the knowledge he accrued playing the game at the highest level.
"Nine years after I left cricket this is the first time someone approached me" is Chauhan's prime reason for having joined ICL. He is anything but happy with the way he has been treated by the board. Chauhan, who now lives in Bhilai, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, has an academy there.
Robin Morris, a key all-rounder for the Champs, played his last first-class game three years ago. "I took eight wickets in the match, but while fielding I suffered an injury to my right shoulder. Even though I was in pain I bowled 46 overs," reminisces Morris as he takes his lunch in the makeshift dressing room in a corner of the Western Railway ground.
Just few months into the ICL fold, and Morris is already at home. "If ICL had been around three years ago, I would've joined without any hesitation. ICL is a very well-organised system" says Morris, who is very impressed with the training sessions held by the ICL. "Here everybody gets fair opportunity," said Morris.
Kiran Powar, a talented left-handed batsman is happy to be on board. "The amount of information we get from the backroom staff is such an eye-opener that now we think if we had had access to the same five years ago, we could've even played for the country."
Morris points out another vital difference. "There are international stars [at the practice] like [Nathan] Astle and [Johan] van der Wath who point out where we are good and where we might be going wrong." The international stars, even if they are retired, are a big attraction to the domestic players in the ICL. Dheeraj Jadhav, part of the India Test squad two years ago, believes the level of competition he'll face from the "well-balanced sides" in the ICL will stand him in good stead. "The competitive cricket I'll get to play at the ICL will help me boost my performance."
"As a professional cricketer I did take into account the money factor and it definitely counted a lot in my deciding in favour of the ICL," said Jadhav.
Says Jadhav: "If I perfom well, the ICL people have assured me of their full backing." Jadhav doesn't want to discuss the fine print, but is confident that ICL will deliver. Morris and Powar say that it's the exposure and the feeling of walking out with the likes of Brian Lara and Inzmam-ul-Haq is irresistible. "Previously no-one would know that I was playing out there. With ICL I know that people will recognise me," says Morris with a smile.

About ICL
India is now a global economic power with analysts predicting an excellent future for the country. Research suggests that by 2050, India would be among the top four global economies. The liberalisation policy has ignited entrepreneurial passions and catapulted India as a giant in sectors like IT and biotechnology.
Although India has emerged as an economic powerhouse, to be a true global power multifaceted excellence is the norm. Sport is an area where consistent performance and domination creates a global giant. India has to achieve it to be a true world power. The Essel group has taken an initiative in this frontier and the ICL is a step in this direction.
Cricket in India is a national obsession and a religion. It is a game which governs national pride and has fantastic following. Cricket is also the game where we are the closest to becoming a champion side. BCCI, the governing body of cricket in India provides contracts to just about 20 players which does not produce high quality large bench strength. Reserve bench strength can be produced by lifting the level of domestic cricket. This will help the youngsters acclimatize to the rigors of International cricket.
ICL's mission is to create a pool of high quality ideal cricketers with killer instinct needed to be champions. This group of players should be able to perform under the pressures of international cricket and make India a champion side.
The ICL has planned a 3D strategy to achieve this target.
'Discovery' the first stage involves the best talent scouts traveling across the country to identify and unearth the finest of talents on offer.
The second stage 'Diligence' would be carried out at specially built state of the art ICL residential academies across the country. The selected talent would undergo a strict training process at these academies. Their training would include skill based - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual modules. This training would be provided by seasoned professionals and would involve cutting edge sport science practices and traditional Indian sciences like Yoga.
The third stage 'Display' is a professional cricket competition in a league format enabling the youngsters to display their prowess along and against the giants of world cricket.
The ICL would be run by a set of professionals with policies benchmarked against the best sports organizations globally. The executive board and other officials in ICL have a proven track record of managing sport especially cricket. Processes have been set in place to ensure transparency and high effectiveness.
Sport globally is a multi million dollar business. In the USA Sports related activities are the 11th largest contributor to the GDP. Sport has proven to be a very successful vehicle for corporates to associate with in furthering their commercial interests.
The ICL is keen to invite partners to move ahead in its goal. This document provides a description of the ICL and the various commercial opportunities and benefits associated with it. We look forward to your partnership in propelling India as a global cricketing and sporting power.
