We have always worked towards promoting cricket: ICL

New Delhi, Oct 14 (UNI) The rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) has welcomed the ICC decision to ask the BCCI to meet its officials.

''The ICL has always worked towards promoting the game and players,'' ICL Business Head Himanshu Mody said in a release.

''We hope the outcome of discussions between the BCCI and ICL will benefit players at large. We look forward to an early resolution.'' The ICC took the initiative after the ICL submitted a formal application for approval to world cricket's governing body.

The ICC's move is expected to be a major boost for the ICL, which has been trying hard to get rid of the 'rebel' tag and become an officially recognised competition.
