Indian Poaching League

A lot has talked about in the media for the last few days about IPL, and the huge amounts of money that have offered for the cricketers. But what is going unnoticed is the poaching of the "Under 22 players" as well. As per stipulation, each team needs 4 U-22 players in its team, and teams are going for broke in making sure they get stars from the U-19 team.
The U-19 Indian team is currently in Malaysia for the U-19 World Cup, but already teams have signed quite a few players and exposure to such huge sums of money at such an young can have adverse effects writes Sriam in his Cricinfo column.
Where is the IPL leading too? And when BCCI said the ICL is a rebel league and should be banned, and that it will affect international cricket schedule, Im not sure how far behind IPL is.
