Champions League can go on--FICA!

The FICA (Federation of International Cricketers Association) has termed the schedule of Champions League as legally correct. They find no issue according to "the relevant clause (in Participating Nations' Agreement) 2.6 states that a member shall not participate in any cricket match, other than a warm-up match organised by IDI for an event, without IDI approval from the period of five days prior to the first match of the ICC event and five days after the event," said Chairman of FICA, Mr. May.

"However this clause interestingly is not included in the Player Terms for the Event - therefore the restriction does not apply to individual players," he further added.

There is no response from ICC yet.
