Chandigarh, April 28:: Players need not shun aggression and passion while playing but limits should not be crossed, Australian great Glenn MacGrath on Monday said while reacting to the slap-row involving Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth.“You still have to play with aggression, but there is a line and don’t cross that,” 38-year-old McGrath, who is currently playing in the IPL for Delhi Daredevils team, said.

“I have played cricket aggressively and with passion, but there is a line which should not be crossed,” he said on being asked about shocking incident which marred the tournament.The paceman also favoured a window for the IPL in FTP of the ICC, fearing with huge money on offer players can opt against wearing national colours to play in the Twenty20 extravaganza.“ICC should definitely create a window for the IPL otherwise it can lead to real danger of players pulling out of international commitments and coming here to play.“Such a situation, if it arises, can be detrimental to international cricket. I think ICC would not like to see that thing happen.“I think the players want to come over here and play. The money is very good…if they can make a window (for IPL) all the players will be happy and so will be the associations,” the paceman said insisting it was an issue which should be taken seriously.“The guys can play for their country and still come here and play,” he added.

McGrath praised the concept of involving foreign players in local teams in the ongoing IPL and said he relished playing with some of the young Indian players.“Young Indian talent is very good. I think the team which has the best Indian talent will stand very good chance to win the tournament.”He also felt that Delhi Daredevils, which is being led by dashing right-handed batsman Virender Sehwag, has a good chance of making it to the semi finals.“Our team is capable of doing well as we have got very good mixture of international and good Indian guys,” he said.Asked about domination by the Australian players in the T20 tournament, McGrath said “Over the years we have learnt how to play in India. We have played a lot of cricket in India in the last 10-12 years. We know the conditions here very well”.
