Historically, BCCI has opposed new innovations in cricket, such as T20, franchise leagues and DRS. I don't know the real reason for this. Perhaps they want to stick to the traditional way of playing and were happy with the test and ODI formats. ICL players were left high and dry after the BCCI banned them. ICL was owned by the Zee Entertainment Enterprises, and they refused to pay salaries for most of the players after the league folded up. 12 years have passed and till date the dues are still outstanding.
