ICL calls off Twenty20 World Series

Published November 28, 2008

AHMEDABAD, Nov 27: The Indian Cricket League (ICL) on Thursday prematurely called of its World Twenty20 Series due to the latest terror attacks in Mumbai. The decision to call off the first leg of the second season was taken this evening at a high-level Executive Board meeting of the breakaway league.

“We have taken the decision of calling off the rest of the ICL World Series tournament. We believe that it is inappropriate to continue the series under the given circumstances. All players and officials are under appropriate security,” Executive Board member and tournament director Kiran More said.

The ICL T20 World Series was at its fag end and was scheduled to conclude on Saturday, with just two league matches, considered as virtual semi-finals, and the final remaining to be contested.—Agencies
