Karachi (PTI): Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad has lashed out at the ICC and member boards for discriminating between the Indian Premier League and the rebel ICL.

"Both leagues are basically being launched for the same purpose -- to make money. The IPL to me seems to be a reaction to the ICL. But it seems unfair that when both leagues say that players' top priority would remain their national commitments, the ICL is not recognised," Miandad told PTI.

"Why are players signing for the ICL being ostracised while those who play for IPL enjoy the best of both worlds!"

Miandad feared the players sold at the IPL auction for astronomical amounts might not end up earning as much as they expected.

Miandad, unsure of the players' earnings in IPL, however, said BCCI would definitely gain a lot from the venture.

"At the moment, a lot of figures and big money is being quoted but the league is yet to start. So no one really knows, not even the cricket boards or players, what is eventually going to happen. It is a strange territory for everyone.

"From what I have read, the players will only get 15 per cent of the total amount they were bid for by the teams from the IPL. I do not really know what their signing amounts are," the legendary batsman said.
