Morgan meets Chandra to discuss ICL recognition

Dubai, Oct 8 (PTI) International Cricket Council (I.C.C.)
President David Morgan met Indian Cricket League's (I.C.L.)
owner Subhash Chandra in London to discuss the rebel twenty20
venture's demand for recognition.

The meeting was held Tuesday and Morgan will now report
the discussion to the I.C.C. Board, which meets here on
October 14 and 15.

"The I.C.L. had written to the I.C.C. requesting a
meeting and today that meeting took place," Morgan said in a
statement.

"I will now report back the contents of the meeting to
the I.C.C. Board, which is gathering in Dubai on 14 and 15
October," he added.

Refusing to divulge any details, the I.C.C. described
the meeting as "cordial" and said, "Mr Chandra thanked Mr
Morgan and the other members of his group (David Becker,
I.C.C. Head of Legal, and Jonathan Taylor of the international
law firm of Bird and Bird) for attending."

"Mr Chandra added his hope that when Mr Morgan presented
to the I.C.C. Board it could find a resolution to the matter,"
the I.C.C. statement read.

The I.C.L. has been demanding recognition from the I.C.C.
for quite some while.

The league was declared a rebel venture by the B.C.C.I.
which not only banned the Indian players joining the I.C.L.
but also convinced its international counterparts to do the
same.
