The Indian Cricket League (ICL) has been barred from suing the Board of Control for Cricket in India in British courts.
The ICL’s promoters Essel Sports last month served a legal notice on the BCCI, England & Wales Cricket Board and the International Cricket Council over what it claimed was the unlawful ban on players associated with the unofficial league.
The notice said that if Essel did not receive a “full and satisfactory substantive response” from the BCCI by December 7, it would file proceedings in a London court.
But the BCCI filed an anti-suit injunction against Essel and the Delhi High Court ruled that the promoters could not continue the action in Britain.
Last week, chief executive of the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations Tim May claimed the ICL owes “millions of dollars” to players, officials and support staff.
The ICL was formed in 2007 – a year before the official IPL Twenty20 tournament was launched – but was never recognised. The league went ahead for two years but suspended operations earlier this year after its players decided to take up a worldwide amnesty offered by the various official national boards.
