With the inaugural edition of the Essel Group's Indian Cricket League (ICL) coming to a conclusion, the company's chairman Subhash Chandra, along with ICL chairman executive board Kapil Dev, have announced the calendar for 2008.
ICL will be having five tournaments next year.
In February, there will be a 50-over tournament called Domestic Championship. This will be followed by a triangular 20/20 series which will field an ICL XI, after which will come up the ICL Grand Championship. The 20/20 tournament will have eight sides take part compared to the six, which participated in the recently concluded event.
In the April-May 2008 period, ICL will open academies in different cities. From September till October, there will be another 20/20 event called ICL Invitation Cup
From November-December, ICL will hold the second edition of the ICL 20/20 Indian Championships.
Chandra said, "It is indeed heartening to see the response Indian Cricket League (ICL) has been able to generate in India and across the globe. After a successful launch in keeping with the promise made, ICL is proud to announce its cricket calendar for the coming season."
The first ICL 20/20 Championship took place at the newly built cricket stadium at Panchkula, Chandigarh from 30 November till 16 December. The production facilities included a 30-camera set-up and other higher technical specifications such as the inclusion of fly cam, hawk eye, zoomer, snickometer, speedgun and third umpire.
Dev said, "We are overwhelmed to see the enthusiasm that ICL has been able to generate amongst fans, not only in India but world over. With such a great response, we are happy to announce the way forward for the league in the coming year. The season will ensure an immensely enjoyable cricket carnival. I would like to thank all who have made ICL a success."
