Bangladesh offer amnesty to ICL players
DHAKA (Reuters) - Bangladesh offered an amnesty on Saturday to their Indian Cricket League (ICL) players asking them to end their contracts with the unofficial Twenty20 competition by June 15 if they wanted a ban from domestic and international cricket lifted.
"The players have to terminate their contracts by June 15 to apply for the withdrawal of their ban," Bangladesh Cricket Board media officer Jalal Yunus told a news conference.
However, Yunus said the players would not be considered for the national team before Dec. 31 even if they severed all links. Bangladesh banned 14 cricketers for 10 years last October for joining the ICL.
