The Indian Premier League have confirmed they intend to support the MCC’s Spirit of Cricket initiative. The organisers of the Twenty20 competition have come to an agreement with the MCC and will ask each of the eight franchise teams to sign a declaration of adherence.

The text for the Spirit of Cricket first appeared as a preamble to the MCC’s Code of Laws in 2000 and is designed to emphasise sportsmanship and good grace in the game.

Lalit Modi, commissioner of the IPL, was delighted to have struck an agreement. “All the cricketers playing in the inaugural season of the IPL are role models for an entire generation of youth and it is crucial for youngsters all over the world to learn the values of this great game and the spirit in which it should be played,” he said. “The eyes of the world will be on the IPL and we want to see cricket, and the Spirit of Cricket, at its best.”
