Shane Bond will join IPL or ICL!

In the media, there is a rumor that New Zealand Right-handed Right-arm fast bowler Shane Edward Bond has signed up with ICL for three years contact. But, the different cricket intellectuals are informing in different way form their view.

As reported by Fairfax Media last week, Bond has signed for the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) on a three-year deal rumoured to be US$800,000 for two Twenty20 tournaments a year.

However, Bond still wants to be selected for the Black Caps between now and the end of his New Zealand Cricket contract in May, a period that comprises back-to-back series against England.

But Bond declined all rumor. He told that did not make any contract with ICL.

Bond declined to comment again yesterday, though NZC chief executive Justin Vaughan has confirmed he will meet with the 32-year-old fast bowler in Christchurch tomorrow.

Vaughan has offered to fund the legal exercise required to extricate Bond from his ICL contract, but Bond is reluctant because the IPL offer presented to him is reportedly around the US$250,000 mar
