It is more to do with the egos for the situation that it has gravitated at. The state of affairs between the BCCI and the Indian Cricket League is more a clash of egos than anything else. Had it not been so, it would not have been allowed to simmer on now for two seasons. It has been dragged into the court of ICC as well, but it has refused to interfere and advised the warring parties to resolve the issue among them. May be, the ICC should have resolved it on its own and issued orders for both the parties to adhere to it.
The battle between BCCI and Indian Cricket League is taking interesting connotations. Such has been its manifestation that even the players from Pakistan who played in the ICL have not been able to play domestic cricket in their own country. Resultedly, ICC had to intervene as it felt that there was a need to get the two parties to sit across the table to sort out differences. The fact that both the parties agreed to discuss the issue threadbare in the presence of the ICC President had kindled an iota of hope that the matter may be resolved in an amicable manner, but it turned out to be chimera and utopia. Leaving aside the ego of the officials involved in the case, the matter to ponder over is the state of players. For no fault of theirs, they are being penalized; only fault being that they had the idea that may be the platform of Indian Cricket League could bring them into limelight and pave the way for their selection into Indian team. It has happened otherwise, the light of cricket has gone out of their lives. Players like G. Vignesh, R. Satish, Abhishek JhunJhunwala and a few others could have given a run for the money to some of the players in the Indian team. Quality performers struggle to get even in the list of probables. It happened recently in the UP Ranji team where the son of a Police officer was drafted into the team as one of the players, though he was not fit enough to play gully cricket, but at the cost of a serious and committed player. Mohammad Kaif, the captain of the UP team had also expressed his annoyance with this state of affair.
