If an ICL falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make any sound?

With the ICL seemingly on its final crutches, the BCCI has approved the return to local domestic cricket for 79 Indians, leaving the Indian Cricket League with 5 Indian players left in its pool.

They say they are still fighting, but it's become pretty clear that the ICL has been perhaps the biggest failure in sporting "rebellion" history.

Basically the ICL has achieved the following:
-Established a rebel league in the hopes of beating the BCCI.
-Luring weak Indian players to their cause and retired/too old players from England and Australia.
-Forcing the BCCI to use their exponentially superior resources to completely blow them out of the water and have their players blackballed from all other cricket.
-Struggling to pay their cricketers.
-Having the 5 or so good players in their teams abandon the league to get back to international cricket.

Is there anyone who really cares about the ICL?

Don't really care about it, was always going to struggle, but I supposed it held a purpose.

In my opinion, it ruined cricket. All it did was force the BCCI to get into gear and bring in the IPL. They tried to do a Packer, but instead of it being the deepest pockets in the country versus a cash strapped cricket board, it was fairly wealthy rebels vs super-rich tycoons. Never going to work.

Now the IPL and Twenty20 are dominating cricket, hurting the other forms of the game because of their superior money.

IPL... ICL... do not care.

Atleast Bangladesh and Pakistan will have a bit more depth to their national teams now.
