IPL History
In 2007, the funding from Zee Entertainment Enterprises helped found the Indian Cricket League i.e. ICL. It did not gain recognition from Board of Control for Cricket in India i.e. BCCI, or from International Cricket Council or ICC. In fact, BCCI did not feel satisfied with the committee members who joined the executive board of ICL. To prevent this, BCCI raised the prize amount in domestic tournaments and imposed a lifetime ban on such players. In September 2007, BCCI declared the new franchise-based competition of Twenty20 cricket, named Indian Premier League, with the first season being played in April 2008.
