KOLKATA — A proposed Indian professional football league that was to feature the likes of former Argentina striker Hernan Crespo and Italy’s World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro, has been scrapped owing to logistic problems. The five-team tournament planned on the lines of the successful franchise-based Indian Premier League cricket tournament was announced with much fanfare by the Indian Football Association but things failed to move after a players’ auction in January last year. The league was originally planned for February-March last year before being postponed indefinitely. — AP
