War between ECB and Players about IPL

Now the war between ECB and Players. The ICL Vs IPL war is still in theopen.
The players centrally contracted by the ECB have not been allowed toparticipate in the IPLHere is what IS Bindra had to say "That solution is not acceptable tous," Bindra told BBC Sport. "We will not have any player revoltingagainst their establishment and becoming part of the IPL"

And here is Michael Vaughvan ""I've heard so many people say that allthe best players are in the world are there and you want to go and playin it," Vaughan said. "So I think we're all naive if we don't think thatEngland players are going to end up playing in the IPL."The only English player participating in the IPL is Dimitri Mascarenhas,who's not contracted by the board.

Very good Dimitri.Bindra said that he will like to have players such as Pietersen andAndrew Flintoff in its ranksAlso now we have the English premier twenty20 league. Now apart from iclvs ipl or ipl vs icl we will have English premier league vs the Indianpremier league as the twenty 20 league.
Ryan Sidebottom has admitted he would be tempted to play in the Indian Premier League if the ECB can strike an agreement over player participation.

Shane Warne - IPL contract: War of words

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

IPL vs ICL
Shane Warne has said that players should put their countries first and then Indian premier league would be no threat to the International Shane Warne Ipl contract
cricket

Now since ICC has approved Twenty 20 Indian premier league tournament it should be in everybody's calendar for sure and a permanent fixture I think that's here to stay, that isn't going anywhere," Warne told the Nine Network

If the players make sure that their country's the number one priority then I don't think we can go wrong."We should enjoy it, we should embrace it and it should be a lot of fun."Warne had an IPL contract and then an auction price of $US450,000 to play for Jaipur in the inaugural IPL tournament.


"The money side of things, obviously it's fantastic, it's a real bonus for six week's work. Whatever you get is fine by me

Well here's what is happening everybody is talking about Shane Warne but nobody is talking about our own bolwing legend Anil Kumble.

Now with icl vs ipl war I am sure Anil Kumble should be picked by Indian Cricket League or Anil Kumble should start making controversial statements Shane Warne is obviously the greatest because he has some amazing bowling arsenal in his repertoire and his Shane Warne video will attest to that or his interview on ninemsn video

Shane Warne Ipl contract

Shane Warne Signed on the most expensive contract with Indian Premier League at a cost of US$400,000 for the first season, set to kick off in April 2008 The fee quoted for Warne is the signing amount for him to be part of the player pool from which franchises will bid for the rights to employ players within their ranks.

Brian lara was signed by Indian Cricket league for US $1million and now Shane Warne has an IPL Contract.The War of IPL ICl Contracts is definitely on.

The second-highest signing-on fee has, not surprisingly, been paid to Glenn McGrath, whose nifty line-and-length bowling see him join up for US$350,000
Mohd Yousuf IPl Contract is worth US$330,000.
Shoaib Malik, who is guaranteed US$300,000.
