The BCCI has fallen flat on its face once again, and yet again ICL, despite cancelling its World Series, continues to be a thorn in the flesh.

Sachin Tendulkar was poised to play alongside the NZCPA (New Zealand Cricket Players Association) in a Masters Twenty20 match today. But as stated yesterday, problems surfaced when the BCCI "discovered" Hamish Marshall, one of the players for the ICL's Royal Bengal Tigers was also scheduled to feature, they began to squirm.
Today Sachin did not play, as didn't Dinesh Karthik, predictably for BCCI's uneasy stand over mingling with ICL players, present or past.
That the BCCI can no longer impartially resolve ICL's issues means that the ICC will have to play a greater role. Only problem - there are too many Indian (read BCCI) affiliated members within the ICC to let this matter work itself smoothly!
