They prove over and over their disrespect for human rights or
for employment laws in different nations.
Now they are acting as schoolground bullies,
simply disgraceful.
BCCI bars its players from counties with ICL staff

The BCCI has cranked up the pressure on English counties that have employed players linked with the unauthorised Indian Cricket League (ICL) by “advising” its own players to not sign up with such teams.Niranjan Shah, BCCI secretary, told Cricinfo that its contracted players – including VVS Laxman, Piyush Chawla and Ajit Agarkar – who have signed or are in the process of signing with English counties this season are being “advised” to pull out if the county has ICL players on its rolls.
“We don’t want our players in teams that have other players playing in unauthorised tournaments,” Shah said.
Shah, however, clarified that “non-ICL” players from these county teams will be allowed to take part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) - Hampshire’s Dimitri Mascarenhas had played for Rajasthan Royals in the tournament’s first season. The decision does, though, put into doubt the participation of Indian players in the English Premier League, which was unveiled on Wednesday and will start in 2010.
It should work both ways,
if BCCI does not allow their contracted players to play for Counties with ICL players,
then they should not sign non-ICL player from those counties to play in the IPL.
This is hypocrisy at its ugliest.
As an Indian, I hang my head in shame.
Come on cricketers, from wherever you maybe from,
show some solidarity and boycott the IPL, this monster needs to be taught a lesson.
