Indian Cricket League in contact with 60 international players

Former England captain Tony Greig and Indian Cricket League representative claimed recently that the breakaway league was in contact with 60 international players.

With the likes of West Indian Brian Lara already signing for the Twenty20 competition and ex-Australian Glenn McGrath already expressing his desire to be a part of the competition, there seems to be a plan to rope in several star cricketers.
ICL is offering up to $2.3million for a three-year contract to certain stars with the original contracts known to include a loyalty payment, and anybody who hesitates will find their payments reduced if they try to get back on board later, a FOX Sports report added.
The powerful Indian cricket board has made it clear that it will impose life bans on any of its international players or youngsters who are associated with the ICL. The board is determined to spoil the breakaway competition.
