ICL remains unofficial

Dubai: The International Cricket Council on Tuesday gave its stamp of approval to the DLF-Indian Premier League while refusing to recognise the Indian Cricket League (ICL).

Announcing a host of decisions at the end of two-day meeting of the ICC Executive Board, President-elect David Morgan said IPL was official cricket just like the county championship in England, whereas ICL was unofficial as it was not approved by the BCCI.

The Board made it clear that bilateral commitments of members would take precedence over IPL fixtures and BCCI would have to agree to certain guidelines.

The ICC Board also asked IPL to introduce a code of conduct, an anti-corruption code and an anti-doping code that comply with ICC regulations.

Regarding the 2011 World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by Pakistan, India Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the ICC decided upon a 14-team format and to significantly shorten the duration of the mega event than the last one in the West Indies. — PTI
