My heartfelt sympathies for Kent, the county team snubbed by Lalit Modi and his cronies for the Twenty20 Challenger tournament to be held later this year. The ECB is probably the only cricketing board that had the courage to stand up to the might and arm-twisting techniques of the BCCI only to be let down by the South African and Australian boards. So what if some English counties took some ICL players on board? The only reason these ICL players were given a chance was because they were good. I wish a truce is called out before its too late. The BCCI can ban the ICL players from playing in their backyard but should NOT interfere in the affairs of boards elsewhere. Another ten years from now, the BCCI and Lalit Modi will have a lot of answering to do about how they killed the carrers of talented players that include names like Stuart Binny, Rayudu and their likes. The voices of Kapil Dev & company will not die down soon either.
