Owing to BCCI's intransigence over ICL, she feels ECB,Stanford and ICL will join together to form a rival Champions league. Here it is in her own words:
"Also looks like ECB may not be able to participate due to ICL issue. Maybe
ECB/Stanford and ICL should join hands and have another champions league to
counter this."
There is a strong possibility of it happening as Stanford is aiming to divide the cricketing establishment and this is a heaven sent opportunity.
As the BCCI is openly against county's having ICL players, this presents a way for the ECB to keep its flock together.
The same thing can be said for ICL. The reality is no Indian player will willingly associate himself with ICL henceforth and the success of the IPL has driven them out of India.
What do you think about the viability of this league?

It wont be started with viability in mind.Yes it is a possibility.
If it succeeds it will be the most fitting reply for the heavily chauvinistic BCCI/IPL/Modi. At least for that sake, I wish it the very best.
good iead i agree...:)
R,VMM,KP,
Lets wait and watch.
For me it is simply a question of there being an alternate voice in cricket to that of BCCI. If the boards of all the countries did not bow to every wish and whim and stood united against some of the BCCI demands, this would not even be needed.
RS,
The others are doing it to further their coffers.
No one is asking them to accept these terms.
As I said in those comments - brilliant idea!!
I want to see this.
thanks q :-)
If ECB is not ready (ICL should any way move out of the Indian market (you are right - there is no hope for ICL here). Maybe they can base itself in the middle east. Then the BCCI can no longer ban the players/counties). It can continue to televise it in India - and have unofficial matches if needed with other boards?
Excuse me RS,I was the one who suggested that ICL has no future in India.:)
the second part of my comment was directed to you :-) and the thanks probably belonged in the previous post.
Thanks RS, I was worried that I was denied my due. :)
