Laxman could be banned from Notts

India batting star VVS Laxman could be prevented from playing for Nottinghamshire because of the county's Indian Cricket League players.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India did not sanction the Twenty20 league rival to the IPL and therefore consider ICL players as rebels.

As a result, the BCCI will not allow their players to join a side that has anyone in it who featured in the ICL.

Laxman was signed by Notts as the replacement for Australian Adam Voges.

Laxman was due to arrive at Trent Bridge after India's forthcoming Test series against Sri Lanka but that now looks unlikely because of the BCCI's stance.

Notts have three players who played in the ICL - New Zealanders Chris Cairns and Andre Adams, plus England's Chris Read.

Laxman's India team-mate, spinner Piyush Chawla, is set to suffer the same fate over his planned move to Hampshire, who also have a contingent of ICL players.
