Kolkata: Former India football captain Bhaichung Bhutia believes the Indian Super League (ISL) and the I-League should not be merged, as the ISL would then lose its charm.

"The best thing that has happened to the I-League was Mohun Bagan winning it. Look at all the fans who turned up to greet their team. I believe the same would have happened for East Bengal. But I doubt the merging is going to happen. If it does, the ISL will lose its charm. Personally, it should not be done," Bhutia told reporters at the Calcutta Sports Journalist Club on Wednesday.
