ICL: Potential Future Ahead!


ICL is the hot issue in cricket world during last year, When ICL starts twenty20 cricket tournament without permission of BCCI and ICC. In this response BCCI banned the ICL players for lifetime from all kinds of authorized cricket. Ultimately, this decision given by ICC because, they don’t want to irritate BCCI. And any other board cannot overtake BCCI due to their commercial needs with India. India is not suffered by ICL, but other countries suffered. Mainly Pakistan, their ICL team supposed stronger than Pakistan national cricket team. No one dares to say against BCCI. But now I want to express you how can ICL challenges BCCI & ICC.
ICL cricketers are banned from all kinds of authorized cricket. So they play only ICL league just for 3or 4 months. Rest of the year they are totally free. In contrast with authorized cricketers, they busy with international test series, one day series and their home cricket. So if ICL can use their cricketers properly they can do a revolution on cricket.
India is the main market of all kinds of cricket. And Indians are spread around the world. ICL can arrange twenty20 cricket tournament in America or Europe, where cricket not played regularly. Twenty20 form of cricket is very much attractive than traditional test and ODI cricket. It is a short time entertainment which desires the American and Europians. And they would introduce with the non resident Indians. So I think it’s a very potential field of twenty20 cricket and thus cricket would be spread among the world. There is no risk of success, because TV rights money would cover the total cost if there spectators refused to see cricket in field. ICL has potential to arrange four tournaments in four different venue of the world. The venues can be USA, Canada, Germany, spain and in asia united arab emirates. 
These places have very good chance to be potential markets of future cricket. But authorized cricket organizers couldn’t arrange amusing cricket here due to busy schedule of all test playing countries. So ICL has a very good chance to spread cricket in this region because their cricketers have enough time to play.
If this process succed, cricket would not be under control of ICC and BCCI. An alternative cricket platform will build. Would it good for ICC & BCCI? But I think cricket would not under in any threat because cricket is not the copyrighted property of BCCI.
Would ICL authorities and BCCI think over it?
