Mas agree ICC need a kick up the backside,i think it was clear when the Aussie crowd booed Srinisvassan what they think of him and the ICC.Surely with this Essel threat they have to go back to 14 teams it makes sense.
ACE you have made a case they are worth more than 100 k in the future,I say increase payments in line with the aussie model where players get 25 % of the cut.The offer for average internationals 200/300 thou and they will net bigger fish than Rez,maybe some who went last time,ex internationals,fringe players,maybe Mortaza.
Ace BPL has a brand image problem like ICL people don't get paid,becuase of that people don't come back and you get less quality players,you should compare the list between BPL and BPL 2,big difference.ICL is offering bank guarentees for their loans.
On another thing now FTP gone and its now bilateral agreements,big nations could agree the first 2 years and then backtrack on playing teams like bangladesh later on,giving bangladeshi players more chance of leaving,this looks like a 10 year plan for essel.Plus add Bangladesh have to qualiy for world cup/world t20 cup.
I expect the players who quit to join essel to happen after the t20 world cup,a final swansong.
