zubinpepsi Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 seems like ICL has bought Lalooo... wonder whats the price.. ------------------------------------- BCCI VS ICL 'We'll allow ICL to play on Railways stadiums' Agencies * Posted online: Thursday, August 09, 2007 at 1556 hours IST Updated: Thursday, August 09, 2007 at 1600 hours IST New Delhi, August 9: Even as the BCCI's flip-flop over the Indian Cricket League continues, Railway Minister and Bihar Cricket Association President Lalu Prasad openly backed the ICL, saying the million-dollar tournament could be played on Railways stadiums. Prasad described the ICL as a ‘good initiative’ and said competition was good for the game. "It is a good initiative. It will give rise to competition and good players will be encouraged. The parallel league is a good thing for those who complain that they were not selected or were ignored. This competition will be good for spotting good players," he said on the sidelines of a press conference at the Rail Bhawan. "We will definitely allow them to play on our stadiums. We will charge little money for it," he added. Asked if it was a fight between BCCI President Sharad Pawar and Zee Telefilms' Chairman Subhash Chandra, the Minister evaded the question, saying ‘the competition is always good as it would produce better players’. The BCCI, in a somewhat vague statement, on Wednesday said any person associating himself with ‘any other organisation’ (read: ICL) would not be entitled to derive any benefits from BCCI or ‘be connected with any of its activities’. Earlier, BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah had last week threatened to impose life bans on players aligning with the rebel body but Pawar had said there was no confrontation between the BCCI and the ICL.
