DUBAI, Aug 22: The International Cricket Council (ICC) refuses to intervene in the tussle between the unofficial Indian Cricket League (ICL) and the Indian board (BCCI), maintaining that national cricket boards should take their own decisions regarding the ICL.

“The ICC Executive Board has taken a policy decision that the BCCI was the only competent authority to deal with the issue. It is up to the BCCI to decide whether to recognise the ICL or not,” an ICC spokesman told PTI.

“The executive board had told the BCCI that it was an internal matter and it was left to them whether to recognise the ICL or not. The ICC had told them that cricket should not suffer.” —Agencies
