If you thought Mohammad Yousuf is the first player to choose ICL over IPL, then you thought wrong.
Actually, Shane Bond is the first player to have done so and that too without any of Yusuf’s legal complications. Bond had offers simultaneously from both ICL and IPL; he however plumped for ICL as they offered him a complete contract, whereas IPL had forwarded a one-page memo.
Therefore, there are players who made informed decisions on the new Twenty20 league. There is indeed a major difference in how both players arrived at a decision. Shane Bond joined ICL based on the assurance given by Cricket New Zeland over his international future, whereas Mohammad Yousuf joined ICL knowing well that it is curtains for his international career.

One page memo LOL... I wonder what was written in it. Maybe something like...
"Dear Shane Bond"
We, the BCCI have started the "Indian Premier League". Please pack your bags and be there. You will be more than sufficiently compensated.
Best regards
Niranjan Shah
Vice President
Indian Premier league
And I forgot to add... P.S: do not join the ICL
