The ascendency of India as an economic world power

Issues regarding the official recognition of Indian Cricket League (ICL) will be put forward once again in the upcoming ICC Executive Board meeting to be held in Dubai. ICL does not have official recognition of ICC because ICL, which is leveled as rebel league, is not recognized by BCCI, the regulatory board of Indian cricket. However, ICL, the brainchild of Essel group chairman Subhash Chandra, is hopeful about getting recognition of ICC. Subhash Chandra even threatened ICC to go for legal action, had ICL not been granted official recognition. He thinks that ICL should have the same status of IPL.

Well, giving official recognition to ICL has been a widely discussed issue in world cricket over the last one year and nothing has been improved so far on this regard. ICC earlier declared that it would not grant official recognition to any cricket tournament unless it has official recognition of the respective cricket board in the country.
