Those busy bodies at the ICL have taken another big step in the direction of a challenge to the ICC itself, not just the BCCI. As Soulberry puts it : So there are three international teams so far in the ICL - India, Pakistan and BD. New Zealand and Sri Lanka cannot be far away and it must be a cinch...

Even before this Sunday's ICC teleconference decision day , South Africa have backed out of the Champions Trophy : CSA studied security in Pakistan and plans for the event, along with reports from the South African government. South African Cricketers’ Association CEO Tony Irish said: "This...

The ICC has compromised again on the Zimbabwe question. In terms of the internal voting bloc logic the decision certainly makes sense. From the BCCI's point of view, that is. Here's Kevin Mitchell for the Guardian on the moral argument : While cricket was never going to solve the political problems...

Malcolm Speed has been forced out because he favoured putting pressure on Zimbabwe? And might have supported the ICL's bid for recognition direct from the ICC ? In an extraordinary development today Malcolm Speed, the ICC's chief executive, was put on paid leave until his contract expires on...

The ICL lawyers have finally sought official recognition directly from the ICC itself. Makes sense, given that India just beat the World , right?
