ECB rejects ICL players’ applications

London: The England and Wales Cricket Board has rejected applications of five players, including Andrew Hall of South Africa, for playing in county cricket next season due to their links with the Indian Cricket League.

Wavell Hinds, Johan van der Wath, Hamish Marshall and Justin Kemp are the other four players who would not be able to play for the English counties in 2008. The ECB ruling has not only affected the players but even counties have been hit hard. — PTI
