| Lalit Modi cautions Kiwi players about ICL |
| Tuesday, January 22, 2008 |
The battle between the Indian Cricket League and the BCCI is now being waged down under with a cricket board official cautioning the Kiwis from joining the 'unsustainable' rebel league.
"ICL is not sustainable and Kiwi cricketers shoudl not succumb to the lure of the rebel league," BCCI vice president Lalit Modi was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
A number of former and present Kiwi players have signed contracts with "better paying" ICL, triggering a crisis in the New Zealand Cricket.
Modil, who is also chairman of the BCCI-backed Indian Premier League, said: "To have a credible tournament one must not just look at the money but, more importantly, whether the competition is sanctioned, whether it's going to have the (necessary) infrastructure, whether it's going to be around for a while, and whether it's investing in the growth of the game or just profiting from it."
Modi also questioned the authenticity of the league.
"Does the ICL have enough safeguards to protect against match-fixing? Do they have the right officials such as match referees and umpires and do they have the appropriate rules involving anti-doping policies and playing guidelines?," he asked.
