Govt monopoly has brought in unfair competition, rampant corruption and an ever bulging evil empire. The only people who benefit are those close to govt. The govt policy seems to be: the rest can go to hell.
In the face of flood disaster in Bihar, wretched souls of Islamic terrorists killing innocent people in Delhi, the IPL must be cancelled this year. The money thus saved in the extravaganza be used in the noble cause of helping the victims of disasters.
My respect for Sri Lankans grows. Other cricket boards & ICC must also stand against BCCI and it's stooges!! No self-respecting board/country should turn a blind-eye to this gross injustices melted to the players...Bravo SL!!!
The time is right for the Pakistan Cricket Board to allow their players also to play. They really need them. Will give the BCCI something to think about.
I don't hv words to express my happiness at such a sporting gesture on the part of SriLanka Cricket Board. Imagine Kapil Dev the only man who cud gift the world cup to India and a true Indian at that left in the lurch by the likes of monsters like Sharad Powar, Lalit Modi and their ilk of the infamous BCCI.I believe every right thinking person must raise their voice against such totally irrational if not insane stand of BCCI agt ICL. We hv seen the performance of Indian Players in IPL excepting for some players there is not much to write home about.

you rightly said about IPL players mostely only foreign players barring some indian players have excelled , so why this injustice to the ICL players let them also get exposer and earn there bread BCCI should not have monoply over the game let sharad power learn to live and let live,no one indvidual is greater than the game it self
Hi, Sure this is very bold move on part of the SriLanka Cricket. Those cricketers playing in the ICL are just too good. It is just because of frustration at not being given chances at the national level and also the money factor which has lured them to the ICL. There is nothing wrong in playing in the ICL. As if players in the BCCI approved IPL did well. It was more of the foreign players who did really well.
ICL should ask their players to file a petition in the supreme court regarding violation of fundamental rights.BCCI was not selecting them in Test matches.They have joined ICL to earn their livelihood but BCCI is asking other boards not to allow them to play in those countries.This is gross injustice
