What prompted ex-cricketers like Kapil to join ICL?
1. Kapil once remarked that cricketers must be allowed to run the cricket boards during a felicitation of Dr. Ali Bacher, a player who later turned out to be the chief of South African cricket board. He must be fed up with manner in which businessmen and politicians running the show in India.
Kapil lashes out at BCCI on NDTV
2. Till last decade money paid to ex-cricketers and domestic cricketers were very small. They were not able to lead a decent life.
3. Some of the ex-cricketers were not treated and respected properly. Kapil in a chat with The Hindu said, “Some 20 years ago I saw Mr. Chandu Borde wait two hours outside the office of a Board official to collect his daily allowance. It was appalling. I pledged that day I would not allow myself to be seen in a similar situation. Playing cricket did not mean struggling to live.” Kapil Dev says that the financial aspect is very important in today’s context - The Hindu
4. Deserving ex-cricketers were not given suitable work or position in the board.
What prompted current domestic cricketers to join ICL?
1. Partiality and interference in selection process. This is the biggest malady happening for years. Shival Yadav’s son was picked for A-Team tours ahead of some deserving players.
2. Some players like Badani and Mongia may feel that they were discarded without giving ample opportunities.

Actual Facts and Suggestions:
1. In this age of professionalism the board needs dedicated professionals to handle the affairs. So board must do away with businessmen and Politicians. Once during a discussion on NDTV about sports in India, Vijay Amirtraj, famous Indian Tennis player, said that neither politicians/businessmen nor ex-players are best choice for administrative positions. He added that only qualified and experienced sports business graduates should run sports administration.
2. There must be two Directors: one for cricketing affairs and another one for other things. Above the two directors in the hierarchy should be the President of the board. Cricket Director must be an ex-cricketer. He will look after appointment of coaches, selectors and pitch committees, setting up of academies etc. Administrative Director will look after scheduling matches, organizing tours, marketing of TV rights etc.
3. In last few years the domestic players are started to get good money. Ex-cricketers are paid handsome pension amount monthly.
IS Bindra retaliate against Kapil
4. Still many things need to be done by BCCI. Process and Professionalism must be injected at all levels and all areas of working.
Final Word:
Essel group’s intention was to make money. Current domestic cricketers who have joined are mostly unhappy with BCCI’s treatment. Ex-cricketers who have joined ICL were denied deserving posts and position in BCCI. Actually Essel group was trying to exploit cricketers (both past and present) disgruntlement with the board for their commercial interests. If ICL is really interested in promoting and developing Indian cricket there are many other ways. In a way emergence of ICL is a blessing in disguise. It has shaken up the BCCI. BCCI must take all steps to ensure its Product (Cricket) is best and effective, its Employees (Cricketers) are satisfied, happy and getting all necessary benefits, and its Customers (Spectators) are satisfied with a fine product. It should welcome back ex-cricketers and current cricketers who have joined ICL to its fold.
