It is a Rs.100 croce based project undertaken by the Essel Group under the leadership of Subhash Chandra in an effort to capitalise the cricket scenario in India, and encourage international level cricket amongst the young cricket talent.
Cricket is more a religion than a sport in India. Most youngsters dream of walking on the footsteps of their cricket heroes, but circumstances and lack of opportunities could shatter it. ICL basically intends to provide the much necessitated amenities by the younger bunch of cricket players in order to develop international standards of the sport.
This endeavour basically catapults the dream cocooned within several young talent spread throughout India. Launch of Indian Cricket League relies on 3D’s:
- Discovery
- Diligence
- Display
Working upon these 3 D’s, Indian Cricket League endeavours to promote talented young cricketers in the making. It would not restrict to mere few players like the Authorities governing the different spheres of the sport. The league intends to provide exposure to a large number of cricket talents. This would be beneficial in creating an additional team of players to match international level. For embarking upon this dream, several academies would be set-up so as to guide the young cricketers that have been selected by the talent scouts of the ICL.
ICL the abbreviated form of Indian Cricket League would work parallel to the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India). This private cricket league has also invited several international level players like Brian Lara, Javed Miandad to be a part of this big project.
Some of the big names in the world of cricket like Kapil Dev, Tony Greig, Kiran More constitute the executive board of Indian Cricket League.
Emergence of this private cricket league is seen by many as a counterattack of the existing cricket board. However, it’s only in the future that anything of the sort can actually be deciphered. |
