The Cricket Board on Thursday cleared the deck for ex-ICL players, who have been granted amnesty, to take part in the third edition of the Indian Premier League with a cap on their payment being a maximum of Rs 20 lakhs.

The decision to allow the ICL players to join the mainstream was taken by the BCCI's Working Committee which also decided to increase the Ranji Trophy winners' purse and revise the match fees for umpires and match referees.
