Asserting that boards around the world cannot bar players from earning a living through the Indian Cricket League, former Sri Lanka captain Marvan Atapattu on Monday said the venture should be looked upon as an employment opportunity rather than a challenge to the existing set-up.
“I don’t think ICL should be blocked in any way. In fact, we need more such initiatives to groom talent. It should be treated as a career chosen by a cricketer. They (the boards) are not doing any good by putting sanctions,” Atapattu, who retired from international cricket after the recent Test series against Australia, said.
Atapattu, captain of the Delhi Jets team, took a dig at the BCCI-backed Indian Premier League saying, “IPL has dragged in all the current players but ICL also has fresh talent on display. That is where the difference lies.”
