The ascendency of India as an economic world power

Eden Gardens is the best stadium for cricket in India and I guess that it is the largest too. Eden Gardens is under the authority of West Bengal government and now ICL organizers would be happy to know that West Bengal government would allow them to arrange matches in Eden Gardens. This is surely great news for Indian Cricket League organizers. At the same time, this news would frustrate BCCI officials.

The Indian Cricket League (ICL) has received support from an unexpected quarter with West Bengal sports minister Subhash Chakraborty saying the ICL would be allowed to use the Eden Gardens and other grounds in the state.

"Whatever facilities we have, we will make available to the boys who have been punished, particularly by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB)," Chakraborty told NDTV, an Indian television channel. "I have no objection. All the fields will be available for them as all the fields are available for CAB. The owner of the fields is the state government not any other body. The Eden Gardens was looked after by CAB. Now the lease period is over and it is state government's property. If Kapil and others like to play in Eden Gardens, I would allow it. What is the harm in it?"

So, ICL organizers are getting the largest cricket stadium in India. If they can ensure some star cricketers then they would have thousands of people coming to the stadium. It would surely make ICL more popular in India.
