"If they (IPL) don't want, don't cover it," Kapil said on Friday night on the sidelines of the first final of the Indian Cricket League's Twenty20 tournament between Lahore Badshahs and Hyderabad Heroes.

Kapil's comments came when mediapersons asked him about accreditation norms put forward by IPL authorities, though he went on to add that it was ‘unfair’ for him to give a ‘judgement for somebody else’.

"As a cricketer, I wish them luck," said Kapil, the Chairman of the ICL's Executive Board.

He hit out at the BCCI for allegedly bending rules when it ‘suits them’.

Kapil said many players in the Indian Test side, flouting the board's own rules, were busy attending various launches in connection with the IPL, which starts its first Twenty20 championship later this month.

Another senior ICL functionary, Kiran More said the Indians looked jaded in the Ahmedabad Test.
