ICL to knock on courts’ doors

A day after their talks with BCCI officials failed to make any headway, the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) on Friday made it clear that it would continue to seek recognition from the ICC and threatened to take legal recourse if the vexed issue was not resolved amicably.

Accusing the BCCI of taking a “rigid stand” during the talks, the ICL said it was looking at other available options to achieve their objective of getting recognition from the cricket’s world governing body.

“The BCCI does not seem to be in the mood to resolve the issue. We will continue to pursue our pending application (for recognition) with the ICC and all other options available to us, including legal,” a spokesperson for ICL said.

Asked whether this means the ICL was thinking of even dragging the ICC to court, the spokesperson said, “as of now we have not taken a decision. We will figure it out.”
