ICL - News blackout?

[chamatkar]

I just realized that the ICL has it's 50 over tournament going on for the past week. However, Cricinfo which diligently covered all the 20/20 matches, does not have any coverage/live scores. http://www.indiancricketleague.in/fixtures/fixtures.html Is there a specific reason for that sort of a blackout? Or am I just not up-to-date on the right media?

ICL itself is not telecasting the game LIVE on zee sports. They only show highlights.

Also realising that none of the international players are in the sides? Were they contracted only for the 20/20 sides?

that's absurd.

err.... this 50 over tourney is conducted only amongst Indian origin players. They will chose BEST XI to represent India XI in the upcoming 20/20. There will be 3 teams. World XI, Asia XI and India XI.

Not to much an issue of contracts as that the intention was always for just Indian players in the fifty over tournament for domestic progress whereas the T20s have a primary focus on getting in the crowds.
