Kapil Dev
Will the Indian Cricket League Twenty20 cricket tournament be as boring as watching elephants race?

Kapil Dev ’s Zee TV promoted Indian cricket League Twenty20 cricket rebel tournament is starting on 30 November 2007
The rebel Indian Cricket League Twenty20 tournament schedule has been announced without much fanfare and media publicity. The Indian Cricket League Twenty20 matches are starting on November 30, though only scratchy details of the tournament schedule have been announced so far
Kapil Dev ’s Indian Cricket League Twenty20 cricket tournament has been dynamited by BCCI’s Indian Premier League
The marketing whizzes of the BCCI have effectively blunted the challenge posed by Kapil Dev ’s Indian Cricket League by firstly poaching all the top players of the Indian Cricket League such as Yousof Mohammed, Shane Warne and Steve McGrath
The prize money offered by the Indian Premier League is also incredibly high compared to Kapil Dev ’s Twenty20 Indian Cricket League and this has caused some more cricketers from Kapil Dev’s Indian Cricket League to jump ship and join BCCI’s Twenty20 cricket Indian Premier League
The Indian Cricket League ’s Twenty20 cricket tournament still boasts of talents such as Brian Lara and Chris Cairns
The Indian Cricket League Twenty20 cricket matches will still boast of incredible talents such as Brian Lara, Upul Chandana, Nathan Astle and Chris Cairns. Also, almost entire Indian Ranji trophy teams such as the Hyderabad Ranji cricket team have defected to the Indian Cricket League ’s Twenty20 cricket format
In summary, the Twenty20 tournament as part of the Indian Cricket League is a great opportunity for Kapil Dev to showcase great cricket talents such as Brian Lara and Chris Cairns probably for the last time

dear mr kapil dev,
i am interested in making a business proposition to you !it takes awesome security detail to resurrect the icl and make it the most secure competition of cricket in the world!therefore if cricketers and the crowd are safe then they will fill the stadiums,right?that is where i can come in !e-mail me back and let me know your thoughts on this and how it will make your establishment very profitable!i think i can come up with a very strong security system that will protect everybody and make you tons of money!

Useless ICL. Only retired cricketers will play.

My greatest appreciations for Mr Kapil Dev for his work to promote cricket. He has really brought so many good cricketers in the lime light. The combination of experienced and young crickers is really a treat to watch. Moreover the players who are dropped due to political reasons can quench their thirst through the league and at the same time provide a lot of entertainment to the public. Every match is exciting no mater which team is playing. In my opinion it is far better then the premier leaque. It is unjust to label it a rebel league. It is unjust to put sports in line with rebels. Mr Dev you are doing an excellent job which is liked by home and abroad alike. Keep it up and we are anxiously waiting for the 2009 season.
