ICL is finished?

Razzak, Rana Naved to end ICL tie for national team

Karachi, March 29: Banned Pakistan all-rounders Abdul Razzak and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan have expressed their desire to play for the national team once again.

The duo want to follow in the footsteps of senior batsman Mohammad Yousuf, who yesterday submitted a written document before the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirming that he would end his contract with the league if considered for the national team again.

"Razzak and Rana would also be meeting the PCB officials soon to confirm they would leave the ICL if considered for national selection again," a source close to the players said.

All the three players were expected to make an official announcement about terminating their contracts with the ICL by next week.

Sources said the PCB was also seriously considering the trio`s inclusion in the national team.

"It might not be possible for them to play in the one-day series against Australia from April 22 but definitely they are in line to be considered for the Twenty20 World Cup in England in June," one source said.

Razzak, Rana Naved to end ICL tie for national team


Two rebel Kiwi cricketers on way to say good bye to ICL

WELLINGTON: Following Pakistan cricket star Muhammad Yusuf, now two rebel Kiwi cricketers - including Shane Bond and Daryl Tuffey – are on the way to say good bye to the Indian Cricket League

Auckland's Sunday News reports Shane Bond and Daryl Tuffey - have been told they will be released from their Indian Cricket League contracts if they put in a request this week; a move, which will allow them to play for the Black Caps.

It's understood Himanshu Mody - the ICL's business head - will fly to Australia to meet ICL executive board member Tony Greig in the next 10 days to discuss the proposal.

The move will have no impact on Australia's international sides as the ICL-contracted Aussies had all retired from first-class cricket.

If players choose to cut their ties with the rebel league, they will immediately become available for national selection again. Of the former Black Caps in the ICL - who include Bond, Tuffey, Nathan Astle, Craig McMillan, Chris Harris, Andre Adams and Lou Vincent - only the two genuine quicks would interest the New Zealand selectors.

But Bond, still New Zealand's best bowler, has talked down any chance of a return to the Black Caps. In contrast it is believed Tuffey is desperate to play for the Caps again.

Thank God Shane Bond is coming back.:hpraise I'm one of his biggest fans.

The ICL couldnt achieve anything apart from helping in the dusting of the complacency of the BCCI officials who then got on their feet to not only crush the ICL, but they started this IPL which has helped Indian cricket.

But ICL closing down wont help in uncovering the ugly side of the BCCI which is what I want to happen. They are behaving like absolute moronss and are spoiling the country's name. Treating others as 'outcasts', bending the arms of others using their financial power, etc is just disgusting. Hope we get a new team that challenges the current team of the BCCI and changes the way cricket is managed in India

He isn't. It's not confirmed anyway. He may still not play.

I didn't actually, I just saw the thread title. Anyway, why shouldn't he play for the Kiwi side? His ICL chapter is over. So, why?

 

[Aditya]

Bond is coming back great news.

ICL just ruin to cricketers career end their international cricket

 

[aussie1st]

Well the ICL was a waste of time and killed a few careers. Hopefully Bond returns as he will give NZ that last piece which their bowling attack is missing for ODIs in particular.

 

[smssia0112]

The ICL is probably the biggest fail in the history of failures. Instead of creating a rebel league that would seriously take on the BCCI and ICC (they are one and the same obviously), they have been completely blown out of the water, destroyed by the BCCI and its IPL and now they can't even afford to pay their players.

Not to mention the fact that their idiocy and short sightedness is threatening the very nature of cricket as we know it, as cricket becomes less and less about international representation and test cricket and more and more about money, Twenty20 and sideshows.

i too dearly hope so but its not goint to happen because for that to happed,justin vaughn must be replaced by someone else and that someone else should go to bond's house and beg him to return...and the entire nation should protest and do crazy things but that wont happen as cricket has no scope in that nation...
p.s.-nz is still my favourite team..

 

[irottev]

It looks as thought Shane Bond WILL be available for NZ selection.

Bond's never say never on Black Caps return | Stuff.co.nz

Going by this article it sounds as if he wants to play for NZ again and is going to train hard over winter to get fit again for the top level. I'm so excited. Plus it sounds like the ICL is going to die and can't pay it's players.

I hope he can get out in time to play for us in the T20 World Cup.

 

[mrtwisties]

Promising stuff, pleased to hear it.

 

[Bibu07]

Nice to hear that Bond is returning to international cricket. But the thing that worries me is that, with ICL gone, what on earth will pull off the dark side of BCCI?? Nothing, damn those greedy morons, calling themselves officials. By the time they leave BCCI, I would support Indian Cricket again. What so ever Dhoni's team achieves falls in the name of BCCI. Actually BCCI does nothin other than counting how much we've earned. Damn those guys.

Start IRL Indian Rebel League and take'em down.

BCCI has got a wide, closed, hidden, dark, evil and selfish side.
