ICL was the reason BCCI started IPL after destroying it. Many good players were there and most of them got banned by BCCI.

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.

Players can forget their salaries as the parent company of Zee Entertainment LTD might go bankrupt. I think earlier those who were heading BCCI were not big risk takers but things have changed a lot with the new President.
