Indian Cricket League Created Problem

Indian Cricket League ICL has crated the problem both for the players and the cricket boards. Pakistan cricket board PCB is also facing the same contract problems. Pakistan’s key batsman Mohammad Yousuf has crated a problem for board and officials by signing up again with the ICL.

ICL first edition came in 2007, for the first time. Since then all the Cricket Board all over the world passed a rule about the contracts of the player with ICL. BCCI played a role in banning the ICL contracted players the reason is that ICL is not recommended by the ICC. So, the PCB took the same actions and banned the ICL players.

Some important legal questions remain unanswered at the moment, for the ICL's latest acquisition is a long-running saga. Yousuf had initially signed up with the league in September 2007, in protest at being axed from Pakistan's squad for the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa.

PCB’s officials got Yousuf under confidence that they will get IPL contract for him next season. He was later lured out of playing in the ICL by the Pakistan board, with the promise of a lucrative contract in the IPL. But the ICL took the matter to an arbitration court in Mumbai, arguing that as Yousuf had signed up with them, he was ineligible to play for any other league. So a stay order against Yousuf was passed. But now Yousuf is going to join ICL by putting his International career in danger.
