Indian leading batsmen Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tenduakar, Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni will attend in the inaugural IPL cricket tournament that will be started from 18 April 2008. IPL authorities are going to mark them as an icon player and they will be paid higher than the others players.
Sources said BCCI has shortlisted five cricketers — Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh — who will be called "icon players" and will be the highest paid players in the league. They will not be auctioned if they have a city team.
IPL chairman Lalit Modi confirmed, "This is one of the BCCI suggestions and it awaits the nod of the IPL board. The player bids will take place next month."
A top BCCI official added that regular members of the Indian team will probably make Rs 1.2 crore to Rs 2 crore from the 44-day event, with the icon players getting the highest amount.
BCCI stands opposite ICL but I think it is making another ICL by stabling IPL with their activities
