The rebel league, however, didn't mention the identity of the players and the staffs whose contacts they have decided not to renew.
"Taking forward it's Sports Performance Evaluation (SPE) process across all cricket operations, the ICL management has decided not to renew the contracts of some of the ICL players and support staff that have expired. As cricket professionals they can are free to decide and explore their options," ICL Business Head, Himanshu Mody said in a statement.
