ICL exodus worries Bangladesh coach
Jamie Siddons, the Bangladesh coach, has said the unauthorised Indian Cricket League could cripple the game in the country if more players follow the exodus. He said the large sums of money being offered by the ICL was a worrying trend as it drew players away from the national set-up before their peak.
Fourteen Bangladesh cricketers, with a mixture of current, former and uncapped players, signed up for the ICL this season and were banned by the Bangladesh Cricket Board for ten years. The ICL is yet to get official recognition from the ICC and cricket boards across the world.
