ICL, Indian Cricket League, are the founder of elague cricket and is the rebel league not associated with BCCI and so ICC. All the players who have been a part of the ICl have been banned from playing international as well as domestic cricket by their respective boards. Most players affected belong to India and Pakistan.
These players do inlude some of the finest cricketers like
Shane Bond
Azhar Mahmood
Abdur Razzaq
Saqlain Mushtaq
Taufeeq Umar
Riaz Afridi
Shabbir Ahmed etc
Since, they were not been picked by their teams and they were just playing in ICL to earn some money to meet their both hands and they were playing cricket, not doing any bad thing. IPL is also a league and players have also earned huge amount of money as compared to ICL.
So, in my opinion, these players should not be banned. what you say?!?!

Yes you are absolutely right! There is no point in banning those who played icl just because it happened to be a rebel league, lot of players who never had a chance to play at the big stage got a chance to play with the big boys through icl, BCCI just showed their muscle power here!

Yeah I dont agree with BCCI's policy to ban the players in ICL. If you take Indian players in ICL, their ban can be justified by the fact that they had joined ICL inspite of knowing that they will be banned by BCCI(I'm not supporting the ban as there are some really talented ones in ICL). Let alone the situation here, why the hell are BCCI not permitting the counties having ICL players to play in Champions League. Their policy is baffling. I just cannot see the reason why they are doing this kind of Nonsense.We all know about their intent on making money but why are they messing up with the life of some retired players playing in COUNTY..........Can they keep on doing this just because they are the RICHEST BOARD??????I cannot accept their policy........
