Sounds like it may be more about the Indian players being able to fulfil their IPL contracts. If that is true then it could be an interesting legal battle - the BCCI are very powerful
The ICC should fine the $hit out of them, but they won't. They should also forfeit the game and series. They tried for months to get this game changed as it was too close to the IPL, and then they pull this stunt!
