ICL calls off World Series

“We have taken the decision of calling off the rest of the ICL World Series tournament. We believe that it is inappropriate to continue the series under the given circumstances. All players and officials are under appropriate security,” executive board member and tournament director Kiran More informed.

The ICL T20 World Series was at its fag end and was scheduled to conclude on Saturday, with just two league matches, considered as virtual semi-finals, and the final remaining to be contested.

Earlier, the league had already called off Thursday’s match between ICL Pakistan and ICL Bangladesh.

Asked if the tournament was postponed or called off, More said: “The board has decided to call off the tournament and not postpone it. A decision on the trophy and other things will be taken in due course of time,” he added.

ICL chairman Kapil Dev said the decision was backed by all parties concerned.
