Shane Bond has made an agreement with ICL

According to the senior officials of ICL, New Zealand pacer Shane Bond has signed up in a contact papers for three years. Ashish Kaul, the executive vice-president of the Essel Group, the company behind the ICL, confirmed the rumours that the league had secured New Zealand's strike bowler. "Shane Bond has signed up," Kaul told Reuters. "It's a three-year contract that he has with the Indian Cricket League."

Shane Bond makes his deal with ICL for US$800,000 for a season who was kept out from the ongoing series between Bangladesh-New Zealand for his abdominal injury. Although, NZC requested Bond to join IPL, which is backed by BCCI. Unfortunately the offer is lower that ICL, is US$250,000 per season.

All the countries warn their crickets not to join IPL that is non-officially-sanctioned. After joint of Shane Bond NZC again warn seriously that if any of the cricketers sing up with ICL, they will be ban from all kinds of international match both home and abroad.

The deal would likely mean the end of Bond's Test and ODI career, as NZC has already told its selectors to consider other players ahead of any who join the ICL. NZC has also made an agreement with the other Test nations that any players who take part in the non-officially-sanctioned ICL should not be selected for international duties.

It is an interesting matter that BCCI has declared that ICL is totally opposite of international cricket. My question is here that if it is against them so why they are going to introduce same formatted cricket match?
