ICL ( The Indian Cricket League )
About one year before IPL began, ICL was abbreviated as The Indian Cricket League. This league is started by a private company, the Zee Entertainment Enterprises. The company runs TV channels Zee TV and Zee News etc. This company set up this league. The concept of ICL was similar to the IPL. There are teams from different cities, players would be an auction, the teams buys the players, and then they would play against each other. But neither the Indian cricketing board BCC nor the International cricketing board ICC recognized the ICL. A large no of cricketers wants to play in the ICL. To prevent the players from playing in the ICL, the BCCI increase their salaries for playing in the domestic tournaments and said that a player who had played in the ICL would face a lifetime ban from the BCCI tournaments. BCCI did not want a cricket league that it could not control. These restrictions on players from playing in ICL slowly killed off the ICL. The last tournament of ICL was play in 2009
