ICL planning a makeover
They already have a Pakistani team but they'll need to hire a lot more overseas players if they want more international teams. This might increase the interest of the people in ICL especially if the matches are entertaining, but I don't think this will benefit Indian domestic cricket, which they claim is the purpose of the ICL.
A year after its launch, the Indian Cricket League (ICL), is planning a makeover with significant changes to its structure and schedule. The revised blueprint, revealed by its business head, Himanshu Mody, includes matches between international XIs, four-day matches and opening up team ownership to minority stakeholders.
The changes are being announced weeks before the launch of the Indian Premier League, backed by the Indian board and launched as a hostile response to the ICL.
"We will soon be having matches between international teams like an India XI, a Pakistan XI, an Australia XI and even a World XI," Mody told Cricinfo. "This is a very distinct possibility that will turn into a reality in the very near future, as soon as this year."
