How BCCI slept over its own 'ICL'
Chandresh Narayanan, writing in the Times of India, traces the origins of the Indian board's own professional league.
The ICL was an idea initially floated by current board vice-president Lalit Modi way back in 1996. He had registered a company called Indian Cricket League with the late board president Madhavrao Scindia as chairman. That ICL was also supposed to be a six-team city-centric league to be played under lights with four foreigners per team. Teams like Mumbai were to be called Mumbai Lions and the stage was set for the league to be rolled.
