ICL Threatens To Sue ICC


New Delhi: The rebel Indian Cricket League has threatened to take the International Cricket Council to court as the league seeks to overturn bans imposed on its players by national boards.

Players playing in the ICL have been banned for national selection and the league has been denied access to stadiums in India because it is considered to be "unauthorised" cricket by cricket's governing body.

According to reports, the ICL has only one year of viable operations and has told the International Cricket Council that it is preparing a legal case which could lead to the world governing body being sued in London's high court.

A separate petition has also been filed by the ICL in the Delhi high court, challenging the position of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, which banned the Essel group's league since its inception.
