Martyn going to the ICL

Damien Martyn, the former Australia batsman, has signed for the breakaway Indian Cricket League, according to Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper on Sunday.

Martyn, who retired from cricket midway through the Ashes series last December, has been linked to the ICL for two weeks but his manager initially said that the league was "not for him". However, an agreement was struck on Friday between the ICL bosses and Martyn who, the newspaper claims, is excited about playing alongside former greats such as Brian Lara - who has signed up with the league - and Sachin Tendulkar.

"Imagine walking out to bat alongside either of those guys,'' he told the Daily Telegraph "It's a chance just too good to miss. It's a chance also to play in a team captained by Warnie.'' Neither Shane Warne or Glenn McGrath - who, like Martyn, have retired from international cricket - have fully nailed their colours to ICL's mast, though rumours continue to fly that both will sign up in the near future.

Well, he was retired from international cricket anyways. It's still a big signing though. Even with all these notable players, I'm still doubtful that the ICL will have much of an impact. I hope it does though, just to see the BCCI being forced to change its inefficient infrastructure.
