ICC fails to end board and league dispute

NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council's (ICC) bid to end a dispute between the Indian board and the nation's rebel Twenty20 league ended in failure on Monday.

The Indian Cricket League's (ICL) application to be recognized as unofficial cricket will now go before the ICC Board which meets in Dubai in April, the ruling body said in a news release.

ICC President David Morgan was disappointed three-hour talks in Johannesburg proved fruitless.
