The former West Indian great, has incurred BCCI’s wrath for saying that the ICL and IPL can co-exist, "Leagues similar to the IPL and ICL will not only bring young talented players in the national team but will also make their basics clear."
According to the BCCI, "When Mr. Gavaskar was chairman of the cricket committee; he was told he had to choose between making certain comments, as a television commentator and as a journalist and holding an important ICC post. Why should it be any different with Mr. Lloyd?” (Clive Lloyd is the current Chairman of the Cricket Committee.)
Whatever be the justification, it is clear the word ICL is taboo and the chances of reconciliation is slim.
A question for you dear readers, do you think the BCCI is justified in asking for Lloyd’s head?

They just made someone who wouldn't get noticed, actually get noticed. Bad PR by BCCI... nobody would have even read Lloyd's statements seriously.
Either way, there is a scope of the ICL and the BCCI together if they decide to part some of their earnings into the ICC/BCCI/cricket grassroot development.
When that happens or even if they declare so, they will win all law suits except the one on Yousuf :).
Scorpi,
You are right. No one would have noticed Lloyds statements. It is foolish of the BCCI to kick up a fuss.
