Indian cricketers may move court

London Sept. 3. Unwilling to budge from their stand that they will not sign the ICC contract, the Indian players are said to be contemplating legal action against the game's governing body.

If there is no solution to the stand-off between them and the cricketing authorities and if they are left out of the Indian team for the mini-World Cup in Sri Lanka later this month, players may move a court, according to sources.

The effort would be to seek an injunction against the ICC and stop the September 12-29 Champions Trophy from taking place.

A senior member of the Indian team said even if they were to stop shy of going to the court, their sponsors would be more than willing to drag the official bodies to court to protect their interests.

``It would be absolutely impossible for us to change our stance at this stage,'' he said.
