ICL questions BCCI’s use of national icons

The tussle between the Indian Cricket League (ICL) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reached the Delhi High Court on Friday. ICL moved court seeking to stop the board from using the name India or the national flag for its team in international matches.
ICL also asked for directions to ensure that BCCI would not “threaten” players who join the league or stop the pension of a former player who had joined ICL.

ICL has also sought restrain on BCCI from interfering in its affairs and preventing the league from using stadiums all over the country to organise ICL matches.

“The BCCI had earlier submitted before the Supreme Court that it was a private body and the players were also playing for the Board, so the team should not use the name of India and its flag during matches in India and abroad,” the ICL petition contended.

After the launch of ICL, BCCI had prevented state cricket associations from offering their grounds to the new league. It had also withdrawn benefits from cricketers associated with ICL.
