“The Champions League is not for international players. It is for the county lads to earn a few quid and get a massive buzz from playing in big grounds in front of decent crowds, something they never experience at home. It means a little bit more employment for some guys who face winters that are long and hard and full of nothing but netting from October to March” – The Champions League: Michael Vaughan thinks we should be in.

“India will not host or participate in any event featuring players from the ICL. England Cricket Board’s officials told us that laws in Britain do not permit them to restrict participation of players. That be the case, England’s teams will not be able to play in the Champions League staged in India. It’ll be very sad, but we have our own rule” – Lalit Modi, Board of Control for Cricket in India vice-president and chief organiser of the Indian Premier League.
