Former Indian captain and chairman of the Indian Cricket League (ICL)
board Kapil Dev has promised to reveal the names of players, who have
signed up for the rebel series, in a week's time.


Kapil made it clear that the process of signing players for the league
was still on and he would not reveal any names at this stage.


"It is going on and we just want to be sure that players are happy and
confident to play in the new tournament and with a new commitment," he
told 'Geo TV'.


Kapil also made it clear that the league would be held as scheduled
despite threats from the BCCI to impose bans on players and denying
access to grounds.


"Cricket has to be held and it will be held. We want to give more
opportunities to young players. We will have a clearer picture in a
week's time or by the end of the month," he said.


A number of Pakistani cricketers have been linked to the ICL with
unconfirmed reports stating that Inzamam-ul Haq, Mohammad Yousuf,
Abdul Razzaq and Imran Farhat have already signed up for the
tournament to be held in October.


Former Pakistan captain Moin Khan is reportedly working as a
coordinator on behalf of the ICL organisers in Pakistan and is in
touch with the potential signings.


Chief selector, Salahuddin Ahmed, however, insisted that the selection
committee was not worried about any mass signings.


"All those not picked for the Twenty20 tournament still have a bright
future in Pakistan cricket. They should not act in haste and regret
their decision later on," he added.
