IPL period be kept free of international cricket:
Leg spin legend Shane Warne, who has been named the captain-cum-coach of the Jaipur franchise Rajasthan Royals team in the Indian Premier League, on Wednesday demanded that the six-week IPL period be kept free of international cricket by the ICC.
Indian Premier League chairman Rajeev Shukla on Tuesday asserted that IPL matches in Chennai will go ahead as scheduled despite growing unrest in the city over the participation of Sri Lankan cricketers in the cash-rich Twenty20 league.
