Inzamam Yousuf and Razzaq join Indian rebel league

Reuters have just reported that Inzamam Yousuf and Razzaq have all been among the 50 players unvailed today who have signed up for ICL. Other prominent names from around the world are players like Brian Lara, Imran Farhat, Nicky Boje and Lance Klusener.

The Indian Cricket League (ICL), promoted by the Essel group which owns the country's largest listed media firm Zee Telefilms, also named several former India players, including Dinesh Mongia, and domestic cricketers.

Former India skipper Kapil Dev and Himanshu Mody, ICL's business head, said about 50 players had signed up so far.

"Our focus is to entertain the people of our country who sometimes only see test (international) cricket, they don't see any other cricket," Kapil Dev said.

"I think these boys, they have the ability and have the talent."
