BCCI set to launch Twenty20 tournament too

Media firm Zee Telefilms’ controversial breakaway Indian Cricket League is set for major competition after the sport’s governing body in India confirmed it too was planning to launch a Twenty20 tournament.

The BCCI is expected to unveil the plans today in a bid to combat the star-studded rival league which is scheduled to start next month.

The Indian Cricket League has signed up a number of international stars – but sparked the fury of the BCCI and other nations who threatened players signing up with a ban on them playing for their country.
