Indian Cricket League’s India XI team captain R Satish is hopeful that ICL would soon get recognition from the International Cricket Council.
There was not much difference between IPL and ICL as both were striving hard for patronage and development of the game. “Very soon ICL will get due recognition from the ICC,” Satish, who led the India XI team, told reporters here on Sunday.
He attributed the victory of ICL India XI against the highly experienced ICL Pakistan and World XI, led by Inzumam-Ul-Haq and Chris Cairns respectively, to the brilliant show of talented and determined youngsters, whose names were not so popular with the public.
Satish lauded his teammates — in particular Ibrahim, Khaleel, the wicketkeeper batsman, who was declared man-of-the series. Every player made best use of the opportunities given to them.
Australian coach Steve Rixon also helped the team, he said.
On ICL’s plans to set up academies across India to promote the game among the youth, he said he would strive hard to get one of the academies in the city.
Satish will leave for England in a couple of days to play in the Lankashire County Premier League Championship and would be playing for Whalley Cricket Club. He would spend about six months in the UK.
