Famous Commentator Tony Greig has shown his concerns on Indian domination in ICC. In an interview with BCC he said that “we have a situation at the moment where the ICC is dominated by India, therefore, we have to try to get ICC right.” He added "We are playing too much cricket. I would be getting all the countries from the world and saying hey listen, what is this nonsense of giving Indian domestic cricket an open window? He added "It is laughable that Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard are playing in the IPL when the West Indies are playing home series against Pakistan -- that is just ridiculous."
The concerns of Tony Greig are facts. Due to only charm of money ICC has provided an open window to a domestic tournament of BCCI. This encouragement from ICC for playing only for earning money has destroyed the career of some good cricketers. Andrew Symonds, Lasith Malanga and now Chris Gayle is also on the same track. Over all impact of this money aimed league on the character of players is also negative. IPL players are not concentrating hard during their international matches now. The performances of some good players like Pollard, Gayle, JP Domeny and some Sri Lankan players in ICC World Cup 2011 are acknowledging their lack of concentration.
So, therefore, President of ICC and Indian Born CE of ICC should think regarding the betterment of cricket instead of promoting useless Indian league which is harmful by any means for the game.
