New Delhi, September 28: Unfazed by BCCI’s ambitious and cash-rich twenty20 tournaments, the rebel Indian Cricket League announced the signing of 18 more players, including six overseas cricketers.
After lying low for several weeks, the ICL came out with its second list of players, which included four from New Zealand – Chris Cairns, Chris Harris, Nathan Astle, Hamish Marshal, while England’s Darren Maddy and Pakistan all rounder Azhar Mahmood .
Kapil Dev, Chairman of the Executive Board for the ICL said, “we are extremely pleased to welcome these players to the ICL family. These talented experienced cricketers will definitely be a great source of learning for the youngsters who will play with them. Under their guidance, the Indian Cricket League players will develop skills comparable to the best of international cricketing talent.”
The ICL, a brainchild of the Subhash Chandra-owned Essel Group, has earlier signed over 60 cricketers with batting great Brian Lara and former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq in its ranks.
“These signings are in line with our objective of providing the best platform for young cricketers from all corners of India to play alongside the superstars of international cricket, learn the tricks of the trade from them and gain confidence to excel.”

Re: And more bite the dust

When Azhar played against South Africa he looked out of form and overweight.
Shame.

I think you're right.
Sentimentality caught up with me there.
In hindsight he was quite crap.
Re: And more bite the dust
Noting quite about it. The man is no more then a county pro.
Re: And more bite the dust
its funny to see bunch of nerds sitting behind their computer calling random people crap, while they have never been involved in any sort of activities. Azhar Mahmood did not made a name in international cricket but he is still a very talented cricketer.
