After witnessing the highly successful Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 tournament, backed by the cash rich Indian Cricket Board (BCCI), their parallel body the Indian Cricket League (ICL) is all set to launch a bigger and better Twenty20 tournament in October.


"We have lots of innovative plans for this edition of the ICL and we are planning a bigger and better Twenty20 tournament for sure some time in October. Everything is still at the planning stages and it will be disclosed to the media in due course of time," former Indian stumper and one of the ICL board members Kiran More told Cricketnext.com on Monday.


"Due to the rainy season, we can only plan things right now as the next three months will not be conducive for any serious cricket but I am sure we will have lots of innovative ideas for the third edition of our tournaments though everything is at the planning stage right now, we are hopeful of finalizing most of the activities within the next ten days," he added.


Speaking about the stupendous success of the IPL, More said, he enjoyed every minute of the inaugural event while watching with his family and friends and was happy that IPL had done a world of good for all the youngsters who showcased their talents.

IPL Glitters in money


After a long speculation and hype IPL glittered yesterday it proved to be some what worthy.Brendon McCullum,The first man of match award winner of IPL was excellent with his flow of bat.He provided chillness for this summer.He won $200,000 as cash prize.Wow!! what a huge amount one can expect to win due to man of match.IPL will destroy cricket.Though it is considered as a big thing in cricket it lures out everyone.Its fame,hype,money totally destroys the cricketing atmosphere.Thinking of the other sports in INDIA its worth criticising IPL.IPL affects indian economy by all means.People who gives money to IPL have to make things clear about going to movies,theme parks,enjoying out with children.Though its an 4 hour entertainer but it is not worth doing.
