@ abhay: You and many others haven't understood the blogger's point of view who has sided with IPL's decision to exercise itself as an independent body where its franchisee's may or may not choose a player. Angry Pakistani politicans came on news channels condemning IPL and threatening boycotts not just in the world of sports but also the peace talks! I can't remember seeing any one of them condemning the terrorist attacks in India or at home! Seems like Paki politicians spend more time watching cricket than running the country OR perhaps they are crying because they may have lost their own stake or cut in the deal!! If Pakistan is being run by a bunch of spoilt kids who haven't learnt to take NO for a answer, its present state comes as no surprise!

Why should they waste time condemning something they were not a part of. I do not ever see India apologizing for breaking up Pakistan in 1971. I don't see them apologizing for the bombings that happen in Pakistan by RAW. The issue is why snub them after inviting them over. Grow some balls and be candid about it. Don't make excuses. How would you feel if you are specially invited and your government went through all the hurdles to make sure you can go and play and then have the door shut on your face.

India need not apologize to Pakistan for 1971. It was not India who broke Pakistan. It was Pakistan's own generals and military officials responsible for it. The attorcities that these guys carried out in East Pakistan were beyond imagination....with regular genocides and rapes.....India had to intervene to save itself from the deluge of refugees coming into its territory from the so called territory of pakistan which it failed to support. Go to History other than the holy kuran and you will know the truth of present day. It is Pakistan and its policies of nurturing fanatical sentiments through ungoverned Madarasas which has resulted into the reputation that it carries today. Let its politicians have a sense of responsibility over their selfis motives and hopefully We too would be able to look into the eyes of this world. Hope you have got the point....

Paki Cricketers were not specially invited- they were not GUEST- they were commodities on sale. No IPL team wanted to purchase them, there ends the story. Can anyone question a shopper for NOT buying a particular brand of cloth??? Similarly the IPL teams did NOT want to buy the Paki Cricketers.

thats your bloody SINS , you are suffering , if u are in indias leave india immediately bcz if your comments read by RAW you will go to the Heaven , i mean to say the hell for you .

Listen, Imran, when you say RAW is causing the bombings in Pakistan, you are giving them credit which they don't really deserve.We in India have very serious doubts about RAW doing anything successfully, so please do not embarrass us.Looks like some deserve fame, some earn fame, but RAW has been having fame thrust upon it, by people like you.

@Imran. It is our matter and you have no right to say in this. Why do you people keep begging all the time. Why cannot your country start its own IPL (if it can). We don't want you. Your player wanted easy money we will not give them thats simple. I mean there was no undertaking that the Pakis have to be taken if you don't want. So it was that way that no body liked your players and so nobody took them. Dont cry and start a PPL in your country. Infact the Taliban, The Let and groups will own one, each of them. The cheer leaders will carry some weapon. It will be nice. You must advice your people to start a PPL. Since nobody else is going to come there your players can be taken, retaken and re-re taken. So there will be no problem. Cheers!!!

imran you are wrong and your information is insufficient.you should apologize. i know you people always condemn indians,india's policies.first you should make improvement yourself then start to saying that nonsense.

Mr Imran just think can i make u buy something that is useless and good for nothing to u...as simple as that...we had to announce that those useless bunch of pakistani players were included in the auction list because they were crying about their availability for the IPL even before we bothered to ask u pakistanis.....who r u to tell us buy something with my money...its none of your business....there is no sense at all 4 this discussion....got it?

IMRAN, the problem of Pakistan for quite long time is the PAKI ARMY. The Paki General, Sahabsyada YAKUB KHAN, who was the ARMY COMMANDER of EAST PAKISTAN in 1971 resigned protesting against the atrocities being inflicted on the BENGALI MUSLIMS. But PAKI ARMY did not relent and General TIKKA KHAN popularly known as the BUTCHER of Bangladesh was appointed ARMY COMMADER. So it was PAKI ARMY which broke up Pakistan in 1971.
Most educated BLOGGING Indians do not want Pak Cricketers in India as long as Pak Jehadis are being pushed in by PAKI ARMY. No amount of chest beating would change it- it would be better if Pak citizens tell their elected GOVT to control the PAKI ARMY and stop sponsoring killings in India.

Hardliner. I've never heard such sh1t before. They were invieted yes. But it was up to the buyer to buy the product or not. It's the same as yu'd go to the supermarket. The wares are on display you buy what yu think is what you need.

As far as teh bombins happening in pakistan its pakistani's bombing pakistani's. You live by the sword so u die by the sowrd. Give up terrorism and terrorism will stop. So don't blame wht's happening in pakistan on others. Fist accept that Pakistan is almost a failed state. A state that set up and trained terrorists who are now teachien the teachers a lesson.

First set your house in order before telling others how to run their house.

Good luck hardline. Please be worried if there will be a Pakistan 10 years from now and don't worry about the IPL. Please start your won and DO NOT invite any indian to play.

OK It is done what you want ... why begging for this.. Respect is commanded not demanded. What is the guarantee that the money earned will not be used for helping Madarsas ...
One suggestion please put your request to Sonia and Chidambaram ...your request will be granted. Get lost , after all this terrorist activities, we do not want to listen to you even if it realistic.

You know IPL is a commercial event, unlike Pakistani people, Indians are born and brought up in democratic environment. The way we respect Pakistani players to stand for bid (even after 29/11) we also respect IPLs right to ignore them.
Learn to be a sport. We invited many players and many of them got rejected. It is Not your right to get selected if you are invited.

times of india, you have to stop ISI infiltrators like this m...... f.......er

Imran - in case you have forgotten, it was YOUR own General Musharraf who apologized to Bangladesh a few years ago for the atrocities committed by your generals in the past. India has nothing to apologize for - it was a clear failure of Pakistan to manage East Pakistan properly - over 3 million refugees from East Pakistan that came inside India from there created an untenable situation in terms of security threats and living conditions in India...why should India be obliged to take care of Pakistani refugees? If India has anything to be apologetic for then it it this - the Indian government should apologize to it's own citizens for not having taken Pakistan lock stock and barrel in 1965 itself, leave aside 1971! Next time there is an war, the Indian politicians should have balls to get an IoP apart from getting back the PoK.

The problem is simple - Pakistan does not have any reason for existence. It is a country built only on negative emotions - hatred of India. It has absolutely nothing positive to show for itself except a few arm chair poets...from society, religious animosities to political structure, it has absolutely nothing to be proud of itself. So it simply tries to survive with India bashing but unfortunately, that does not give it any legitimacy. Everything in today's world must have a reason for it's existence - Pakistan doesn't have any.

see the map where India,Pakistan and Bangladesh is.Morever read history and write the comments on blog.

MR. IMRAN wenever invited your holpless cricketrs..it was tem who were crying to be bought...it is our wish...just don't think of even entrind INIIA..forget abt playind in INIDA if you fools have some self respect...

Imran, it is ur desperation showing to make money. if u don't like us no one wants u here. stop acting like a special gift to the world. decisions taken into our domestic games is not your bloody business!

Imran Take a bowl and beg for money for your Paki friends.Write 1971 on it! We have big enough balls to snub you publically.

what on earth are you getting 1971 into this ? what need has India to apologise for it ? its the bangladesh govt which is still asking the pakistanis for an apology for the genocide and rape of 1 million bangladeshi women , Indoa saved bangladesh from annihilation by pakistans hands. And what RAW bombers in pakistan ? we have arrested and produced hundreds of pak terrorists on TV with proof, has pakistan produced a single Indian ? Its thinking like yours which has created hatered across borders. the facts are that till you reign in your jihadi elements and bring to trial the people who are responsible for mumbai attacks there can be no normalty between india and pakistan, pakistanis are not welcome here , and to fool ourselves by thinking a couple of cricketers playing in the IPL is going to suddenly create an atmosphere of love is stupidity . you can expect to send your cricketers on a valid visa and your terrorists without a visa and expect normal relations

instead of shedding tears in indian blogs, go call srk, gill, chidambram

Who is the **** want this terrorist player's?? we indian's dont want to play with terrorist's. indian govt should not enter in IPL internal issue,

India or IPL needs no apology to Pakistan or its cricket team. Muslims wanted to live away from the Hindus -- they got their Pakistan. I wish them well there. Let them live in peace. To start sports or cultural exchange was a wrong decision. 26/11 is the latest example. Let them start their own league and bar Indian players from as they have officially banned Indian films in Pakistan. Pakistan is the last country that shyould be talking about peace.

IPL and its franchisees should be lauded for a taking a stand finally. Enough is enough. Gald to see Indians finally standing up to bully Pakistan.

Haha, i am enjoying the way Indians are commenting, Indians are having problems not only with Pak but with Australia,Srilanka,Bangladesh,China,Nepal

Fantastic! please keep it up and forward your comments to all Indians. I appreciate your prompt action regarding involvement of Pakistani players in 4th IPL. What action Pakistan has taken when their people attacked Sri Lankan players (whom world knows the best cool nature players). Moreover, we don't see any such talented players vis-a-vis others which involves havoc money.

Hey Imran
Please don't be over react and try to understand the things. why are you bringing other issues in cricket., we are discussing about the IPL Cricket not about RAW or ISI etc..All world knows well who did what and who is still doing, so you no need to explanation on it. and 2nd thing we are INDIAN and Proud to be a India. we don't want to listen any of your bull shit here. what RAW did/doing etc.. its our agency and it doing all that beneficial for all not like ISI who support some wrong people to create problems in neighbor countries. If u really feel sham about your PAK players not bought by any of agency then we can just say sorry and thanks to your player to come india and attend audition . we all are with our agencies and History of IPL says . none of PAK player performed well. In 1st IPL KKR team had 7 PAK player and that team was least team in IPL. and 2nd thing we just chosen the best cream player like we took your akram ( PAK blower as a coach for KKR team).. so please clam down and enjoy cricket . and do let all bullshit in cricket ..

I salute IPL franchise owners for showing the place of paki players. No paki player condemnned any terrorist acts. Our politician are spineless, none of them supported IPL stand. Look at SRK now hee wants to respect paki people and players. SRK should be thrown out of india and deported to pakistan where he can live happily. SRK eats Indain bread and now he is advocating paki players and balming IPL. SRK did not even condemn terrorst attacks, I think he shoul just focus on making good films and money and entartain people, after all he is just an entertainer not any big respectable personality. Shame on hime for supporting the paki palyers..

India is the one who has halted the talks. there are no talks going on between India and Pakistan.

If someone says that it was not in the knowledge of anyone then he/she is insane....Anyway we do not expect good from Indians anyway...Its better than our heroes are not there.....

@ Zahid:- Ofcourse we halted the talks... coz indians and india has always been at the receving end... and we are resilient does not mean we don't have the capabilities of bringing down the much sponsored terrorosm from your end... whenevr we've tried to start a peace dialogue we've always been thanked by attacked.. May it be kargil after the agra summit or any other...

and as for you saying your heroes are better off in pakistan rather than participating in IPL3.... ask your players... they are so very pissed of the fact that they'll not be earning millions thru IPL like other international players.... It is for this reason that ur players

Pakistani crickters heroes?? Whow are you kidding, did you forget ball temering Afridi messing up the pitch against England few years ago? CHEATS more like it.

Most matches of IPL are happening in Mumbai where 26/11 happened sometime back. Pak has admitted publicly that they did 26/11 but culprits are roaming free in Pak. Who will provide security to Paki players in Mumbai to play for IPL ?

Oh Yeah! We've all read similar stories before. They all end like this: The grapefruit is sour!

India needn't talk to a failed state! Why dont you beggars leave Indians alone?
We are a minority here but we are happier than the majority here!!! Your brothers here are a menace too, including that clown Shahrukh Khan who has shown his true colours after 20 years in the industry!

Zahir, do you think that pak really want to talk to INDIA? i think you dont even know about your own politicians. INDIA always tries to keep peace with neighbours but pak is like the pond of shit.Always stabbed back to INDIA whenever we try to resolve the issues by dailogues. You can take example of kargil war.

Please keep your heroes home. Afridi is now a house hold name in OZ after everyone saw him trying to eat the cricket ball. PCB and Pakistanis should first start learning to respect their own cricketers before talking about IPL or others snubbing them. Look at the aftermath after Australia series. If you cannot respect your own cricketers forget about others doing the same.

I don't understand why Pakistanis are even concerned about IPL and the after-math. If they were not picked up by the franchisees then they can react by winning against Indians on ground. one good example was slapping the under 19 Indian team in the quarter finals and kicking them out of the world cup. They should now focus on the T20 world cup that is very near. I remember they didn't take part in IPL doosra and won the T20 world cup. Now same has happened with IPL 3 and they will again win the cup. Indians are still denying that RAW plays an important role in all bombings in Pakistan and sending terrorisms from Afghanistan and when some Indians come across any such allegations, they actually rejoice about it. what a shameless nation Indians are. Truly shameless. There were more than 500 bombings in Pakistan in 2009 and still no shame for RAW ? even 26/11 is doubtful which could have been pranked by Indian forces to wash the spots on its face in the name of Colonal prohit and the company. First of all ban shiv sena, bomb their head quarter then talk about peace with any other country.

Dear Ahmed, Indians have always grown up adoring Non Violence since the days of Gandhi. However, the same cannot be said of Pakistan wherein every dispute is settled by the gun or bombing. Look at your own statement ... bomb shiv sena. This shows that Pakistan lives by the gun ... so, whats happening to you is a result of your own misdeeds. Why blame us for this. We have our own set of problems and we do not have any interest in Pakistan ... let me ask you ... what does Pakistan have that we do not have ... bombs, terrorists, illerate people, archaic laws, zero business. We are definitely not interested in a country like this ...

To Ahmed@ pls get your facts correct, its known in the entire world that pakistan is the epicentre of terror and not India and your partners in so called war on terror the US has also understood your military's double game, all you people can survive in this world is only by begging that you will help in elimanating terroist organistaion but will have habour to keep them alive so can cliam some Aid from US and western countries, so AHMED beggers can't be choosers, pls keep in mind. POOR POLLUTED CORRUPT PEOPLE.

That's surprising...your entire country is threatened by Shiv Sena. If you are so threatened by one small party in India then what will happen if decide to wipe out pak.

Our guest italian princess and her cook(MMS) are busy planning for next 5 years so they can get votes from pseudos and elites and minorities and rule and fool all of us. You are lucky to be still barking after 26/11 and the timing was good too when congress was ruling in india and in maharastra. I bet even after you terrorists make each day of the year a 26/11 we will still want to talk to you. kudos to sonia and her ball-less cook.

Dear Ahmed, Please correct you statment chekc the fact and thn come here to discuss any thing. your politician have said publicly that Pakistan is under threat from there own supported terrorist. but the things are in alst 60 years INDIA has grown up and now one of the the super ppower of the world whereas wht is the value of pakistan. nothing some handsfull politicians begging for money from US and asking support from china???? you mango people of pakistna will never come to know wht happens in your own country.dont comment on INDIA.

Dear Ahmed,
You say that RAW is responsible for bombing in pakistan.Though I do not belive in it but if we take your statement as true RAW has done exactly same what ISI has been doing . now u know that bombing can happen anywhere if sponsored. if RAW has done it why shame on us , shame on your security forces who have not been able to stop the 500 bombings .

cant agree with u more. when was the (first)

abhay, you are dead on mate, dont know why everyone is getting apoplectic about the matter, let the owners or their chosen maanagers/selectors decide what is best for them, the IPL is and was a Laisseez faire systemparty as everyone including the players knew, so tough luck if the pakistani players didnt get to be called, the ones who pay for it have all the right to invite whoever they want anrd feed them whatver they chose, not the guests, nor neighbours or any outsiders. Its the wallet of the IPL which spke and the wallet of the Pakistani players which cries, I dont see why everyone is getting into this self flagellation unless having sadomasochistic tendencies or under the mistaken sense of being part of muharram or whatever rituals that celebrate such self flogging, I would say let us be in peace as long as we have our daily rojiroti and it is not dependant on those IPL owners

heh heh. i second u guys. If i spend money, i would select ppl i like and wud not care for these intellectuals telling me whr to put my money. And the business men investing in IPL have huge Indian fans following them. I believe they will gather support from the masses in India for their decision in IPL3. Media, as stated earlier, is intellectually blindfolded to understand the pulse of the nation.

It is stupid to say that the Pakistan players have been shunned or insulted. We may have to ask the Pakistani teams or owners if they run the teams will they invest on any player who is not adding value to their brand cause.

It is pure commerce and entertainment and nothing else which matters in T20 whether you are a pakistani or an Indian or from any other nation.

Also by the same token Pakistan should now realise unless they are integrated with the rest of the world on equal terms through common idealogies and other interests they are going to be sidelined. This is not another Jihad that is going on it is sheer value creation.

If Pakistan was so much concerned, it could build a franchisee to participate in auction and field a team in IPL

Yes Mate, Pakistan should start the proceeding for stopping the world cup to be held in India first.

haha tats a big joke,it doesnt take 20 or 30 rupees to buy a team.they dont have so much money....poor bloody pakis.

You are talkong about entertainment and commerce how ll they understand. They know only guns, bomba and conspiracy...

yes...stay away by all means from pakistan.close borders ,stop bus,trains croosing borders.keep our defence strong on those borders.why to creat more problems which we do not know how to solve.after each messup problems media and politician open their wise dirty mouth.whiele common man dies and suffers.enjoy cricket with rest of civilized world.pakistan as country is not part of modern civilized socity.

I agree with what Abhay says.Do not be apologetic.If Pakistan realises they are harming their players' interests they should refrain from creating adverse situations with India.The Indian govt has, for a change, come up and rebutted them properly.Does the author really think if the pak players are barred from IPL, it would be less of a diplomatic farce?That would be worse coz that would be upon instruction from a particular body.The paks have instigated "proxy" war for years now.have any of their media come up against them?this is a problem of too much democracy for media in India.Please understand media guys, that bashing your country is not statesmanship.What the IPL guys have done is completely their prerogative and should be.If they are controlled, business will cease to exist and IPL will be a PSU.
Cheers
Kiran

Perfect Abhay. To all the ones who're talking about not mixing sports and politics I have two things to say:
a. Shunning South Africa during the apartheid years did contribute in some measure in ushering change.
b. While this is not an identical situation, when India has been attacked by people originating from Pakistan and all we get in answer from the Pak govt and its media and people is either denial or indifference then this is your just come-uppance regardless of it was for business reasons or orchestrated.
If you guys can get insulted for such a triviality (in comparison) then imagine how we as Indians must have felt with your reactions after 26/11. Clean your backyard and stop throwing that filth around at your neighbors, if you want true friendship. Its a two-way street folks. This time the onus in on you. Indian media - don't feel embarassed; if you can't participate in this process then don't interfere either.

Are you guys listening to your self! Indians are becoming like Nazis. Someone wrote "No Pakis allowed" you guys forgetting British Raj.

Sorry boss. We dont want a team to come and shoot us and the other to play cricket us. You may call this Nazism if you like.

they bomb us, they kill us, they attack our temples and mosques, they kargil us, they war with us, and just because some idiots did not get selected, such hue and cry from porkistan. our media idiots cry foul. if we tell something to media, they will call it moral policing. but they can talk any rubbish and get away with it. porkistan threatens that it will severe ties with india. what do we lose???????????? why bother about them at all. i am happy that such a thing happened and atleast porkistan wakes up now and starts behaving like a responsible nation. or a day will come when the whole world except USA will shun them.

i agree withu mate We INDIANS HAVE THE ECONOMY AND THE MONEY IN THIS AGE WHILE PAKISTAN IS A BLOODY EXCUSE OF A COUNTRY ...WE OWN CRICKET ACCEPT IT AND LIVE WITH IT ..AND NOT ONLY THESE PAKIS WE BUY AND SELL ALL PLAYERS OFTHE WORLD ..iNDIA IS NEXT AFTER CHINA EVEN THE WESTERN COUNTRIES ACCEPT THE FACT THAT INDIA IS NEXT AFTER CHINA WHILE PAKISTAN IS A SCREWED UP CRAPPY COUNTRY ..

Terrible Blog from Mr Kalra, IPL wont last a few more years after snubbing Australia and Pakistan players. And Mr Kalra already "implies" that any attack in Kashmir or in India is "done by Pakistan".... Please lets grow up and let sportsmen play sports..... Shame on u "SECULAR" Indians

@ Abid Aziz. That IPL own't last for few more years is a wishfull thinking of every Pakistani but unfortunatily for them IPL is going strength to strength with every passing year and this is what Pakistanis are unable to digest. As for to let "sportsmen play sport" what MR.Aziz is forgetting is terrorism and sports can not go hand in hand and this is the message for Pakistan if you guys could understand it. As for his comment on Indian secularism well Mahammed Kaif and Yousuf Abdullah were bought by the franchisees so secularism could not be brought here but by the way what does a Pakistani like him would know about secularism? The real shame is that Pakistani players are begging for IPL contract and if alms are not thrown at them them they find it a national humilition.

Kashmir will be part of pakistan

IPL is not about secularism at all. It's business, pure and simple. And businesses are about making money. If the top honchos of the franchisees considered having a Pakistani player on their team a bad investment, who are we to question that? It's their money, they have a right to pick and choose. And it is indeed ultimately about money. I mean, if IPL was to give the Pakistani players to play pro-bono, I have no doubt we wouldn't be having these arguments right now!

dear i got your point they are true business man and Mr modi dont have right to bring pakistanis to the auction list and those fellows are not pick my any1 a player like afridi who make a household name in austriala. its a political conspricy

If the IPL won't last a few more years, why are the Pakistanis crying and complaining about your players not being selected in it? What difference does it make to you?

EXACTLLY
U guys need to grow up. Who will take the security of pakistan players? Many of the matches are in mumbai.

@aziz, u guys remind me the storey of sour grapes. when u talk about IPL close out

@ Abhay

Reading your responses below surely brings out one thing forward and that is how negative sentiment teh sentiment we have against our neighbours and how much venoum we have.

The point here is simple that yes the franchisee should be free to select whomever they want to as this is a business enterprise and they should be able be able to protect their brand (off course if they feel having a Pakistani player will cause an issue then not have them though in west this could be legally challenged but lets not forget we are still third world India); but if a franchise had given confirmations based on which the players were put on the list for sale then why wasnt one player picked. The franchises should not have shown interest in Pakistani players in the first instance. This clearly shows that there was something more than what meets the eye and the reason to be defensive. If IPL was clear upfront that IPL is closed to Pakistani players then no issues. You cant have your cake and eat it too !

Keep your mouth and computer shunted.

Would like to have further reasons, here is the intelligence:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Lashkar-readies-para-gliders-to-launch-suicide-attack-on-India-Intel/articleshow/5488687.cms

Ramesh Virani should be kesab's lawyer.

how can you legally challenge,u must be the dumbest lawyer out there

Abhay, settle down..dont let your emotions make you look like an idiot.. IPL franchises deemed Pakistanis risky, did not want them for whatever the case may be, fine...THEN DONT GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF INVITING THEM AND SHOWING THAT THIS WAS A FAIR PROCESS??...when you knew you would not bid on them then why invite them, play this grand drama? Business decision my a$$, pure hyporcisy!This disaster could have been easily avoided...but these days Indians are on such high horses,(specially who sit in front of PCs and act so tough) that they forget that they themselves are not doing what they preach and those who point out are even shunned in their own country. Everyone knows that Pakistan will survive no matter what and will emerge stronger but these shameful acts of Indians will always be remembered.

'Pakistan will survive no matter what' - LMAO...you guys are the limit...scourges...Learn to accept life the way it presents itself. Understand that you morons are paying the price for the irrational policies of your senile government (if you think you have one).

Mr. Aman,

Please understand that there were 60 odd players from different countries in the auction, why are we making hue and cry on pakistanis not being selected.

There were others who were also not selected ,are those countries creating hue and cry on not being selected.

I just dont see any issue here, if the franchise didnt want to bid for a player to bad for him. ( lets not get the india /pak angle to this)

Also to put things in perspective, the list of players in the auticon none were invited, it was the players themesleves who registered for the auction.

I guess grow up guys and enjoy a good game of IPL-3 instead of wasting your time and energy on whinning anc crying foul.

And fellow indian i guess we have a far bigger and prressing issue to discuss and tackle on Indian Hockey...i guess that would be more prudent blog to discuss than IPL-3 and Pak players.

so mr aman ur telling @ shamefull acts then what @ Kargil,26/11,serial bomb last in mumbai local and many such countless deed done by paki waht @ that dude.and @ ur survival,dude what is a meaning of survival if ur surviving in fear.

These Pakis read Times of "India"! Oh god. You should Jang!! Kindly get lost. Who is asking your opinion?

It is not the Pakis who read TOI . It is the silent supporters here who empathize and sympathize. It is IPL and it is INDIA. Get lost to your Porkistan with a useless government and a goddamned army

If this is the planned act then I really appreciate the same. It is a slap by the method of Gandhiji. India should find this type of attacks let them feel of being slapped.

@AMAN, seems like you don't like your A$$ and we don't mind it. This is not really a disaster which you want to hype so. You are telling as if you heard with your own ears from all the IPL franchisees asking Pak players to be put on auction. So don't try to behave like our irresponsible media which always try to put its own words into somebody's mouth. If you are so hopeful about the future of Pakistan that is good but no need to remind Indian people what they need to do or need not do. If you think yourself so wise and justful then try preaching your country fellows not to indulge in harming India and let us see what will be the outcome of that. As far as rest of us concerned, we are not bothered what you think. What you think about us hardly matters to us anymore. What you act will affect you only. Don't think that by talking about the good relationship with India you are doing us any favour. Always remember that if you think and act good towards your neighbours it is in your own interest but it is not a favour you are doing to your neighbours.

I think Abahy is right! There really is no need for apologies. Just because somebody was made available for bidding doesn't mean that that person has to be bid on and "purchased". Just like at the auction houses the items are displayed for bidding. If any items don't get bid on and/or purchased, tough luck, better luck next time. You don't hear auction houses screaming "discrimination" or "humiliation" just because nobody bid on the works of some artist

Dude, you call this a disaster, shame on you, you guys killing innocent people for so many years in the name of Jihad (impotency) is a disaster, not XYZ player for Pakistan not getting selected for IPL.

This is not a shameful act, you guys are shameful, Jis Tahli main Kathehoon usi me ched karthehoon. You are are soo good that you would have used the IPL money against us again.

Dear Aman!!bro don't tell these idiot indians bcoz they will understand..u know they as a nation so sneeky and hypocrate, they even don't hesitate to offer their daughters (Great King Akbar). Thr is a universal truth that "no one can win from those who can turnd down the promise or run from the battle field" We muslims(Pakistanies) had given them so much imunity during our 100years ruling over india...but don't worry now a days americans r enjoying their babies but they will come back to the ones who enjoyed at the first night..!! U know India hsn't got the balls to fight with Pak...thy will just creat drama like they did in Mumbai whr they killed their own people by themslevs including honest police officles which were investgating the serious issues in India...just don't bother to write anything for them...A so called emergin super power India..anounces on TV tht they will give lesson to Pak and hold their army at Pak border for more a year then took back by themselves...so how u gona rate them...they just can't digest someting around them...just ignored them and wait for the time when we will hav a chance..

only pak girls can use such filthy language

Dont spend anymore time here..Intelligent people will laugh off ur comments,and stupids like u will reply u with filthy language....Go n act on ur own problems,u will get more answers .my dear pakistani friend..

Chance for what my dear rose...dont wait...coz u never know in ur so called beloved country when will be ur last breath with bombs exploding every other minute by those whom u nurtured for so long(talibans).Arey if India wants, it can finish off Pakistan in a flash...with so many chances given u never improved...like they say in hindi...a dogs tail can never be straightened...stop begging with india for everything

looks like u r the only responsible indian and when u say business decision my a$$ then pls tell us was it ur a$$ that were not taken
now for what happened at the auction i beleive that what happened was right and if it would be me in charge i would invite them again and wont bid on them again and again as they very well deserve it
and dont cry fairness out there before u do just ask what was fair in 26/11 and kargil and all the other back stabbings?????????
and u rightly say indians are on such high horses and thats why they didn't bid on donkeys
yes pakistan will survive so will pakis cause even after a nuclear explosion the only thing that survives is a COCKROACH
so i beleive that what u say is true
and nonetheless i am proud to be an indian and do what was done again and again

why the f***, are we trying to explain these porks... any how they dont konw about any human values, these fing pakis think money is more than life??
then we are ready to show u.. how it feels when u loose ur loved ones in shit work done by u gays on 26/11

Aman -- Pakistan will emerge stronger? One would certainly hope so. It's been a long time coming though, isn't it? Maybe this is what "Aman ki aashaa" is all about... hummm...

I doubt that pakistan will survive long.

LOL.. are all Pakistani's suffering from delusions of grandeur? Look at your country through someone else's eyes. It's nothing but a failure. You are ONLY thriving because of the billions thrown at you by ignorant countries like the US. So basically you are nothing but a bunch of fakirs begging at our doorstep. Shame on u? Shame on you, and the cowardice you show by promoting terrorism on your soil.

IF PAKISTAN AS A COUNTRY IS UNDER AUCTION, WE WILL BE TOO PLEASED TO BUY AT THE RATE WHICH THEY JUST DESERVE, AND THE PAKISTANIS CAN LIVE LIKE SLAVES IN INDIA.

Frankly... I say... f**k em !

just tell me one thing rajesh, what we need to do now to make these pak players happy ? spend money? if they really feel that IPL is so imp for them they should offer themselves for free and play. its redicules that we are suppose to be sorry for not buying a perticuler product because its from a country which also export terror to us. come on i am happy that pakistani economy will not get any money from indian economy via IPL and if anyone is sorry for them i want them to come and visit mumbai once again.

Wouldn't the same argument also apply to Australia? Shiv Sena has said that Australian players will not be allowed to play in Mumbai. So why did IPL select them?

We in pakistan dont give a sweet f**uk about indian ipl.are you got is a bunch of morons looking for recognation.
hell with you loosers and stop bloging about pakistan,because we dont give a sweet f**ck about you footpath sweepers.

Then why all this HUNGAMA in PAK?????? Why are PAKI MINISTERS LIVE on TV. Indians do NOT want PAKIS anywhere in India- CRICKETERS or JEHADIS. Now that even SOUTH AFRICAN CRICKETERS do not want to come to PAK why don't the PAKIS begin another HUNGAMA against S-AFRICA too. OR is the ire reserved only for India???????

hahahaha.....if u dont give a shit bout IPL then y r u cryin like babies who r denied milk...ooooooo...y r u paki's always begging???

Oh sam from pakistan@ don't get frustrated for being called by the entire world as a failed Nation, by abusing strong power you can't be ready to compete with them, learn to be mature, time will come when you will have to sell every article of your home to make a living so calm down and be ready to clean USA's shit to begin with and then when you are good in sweeping we might hire you in contract services, so be ready sweepers:)

Couldn't agree more with Abhay. The message of IPL is loud and clear. The PAK CRICKETERS are not welcome in India as long as PAK JEHADIS are being pushed in. The PAK PSEUDO-DEMOCRATIC GOVT crying from the roof-top on IPL issue is an effort to win over the PSEUDO-SECULARIST in India who have taken the bait and are beating their chest on all TV Channels and print Media- abusing IPL. Let The PAK GOVT stop PAKI ARMY pushing in JEHADIS to butcher Indians and then talk about Cricket.

why the hell pakis taking IPL issue so seriously.. i think they need sm money man, well IPL is not a charity guys its a business man show and they wont put their money on risk...

WATCHING ANYTHING WITHOUT ANY RISKS OR ANY EFFORTS IN THE NAME OF SECURITY CANT JUSTIFY ANYTHING.PUT SOME EFFORT AND RISKS THE OUTCOME WILL BE GOOD..PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT...IPL IS NOW RICHMANS GAME AND POOR MANS TIME WASTAGE..GONA BOYCOT THIS YEARS IPL

hahaha...Grapes turned sour....poor boy...

Look who is talking about security. Forgot attack on srilankan players?

Pakistan end India's title defence at Under-19 World Cup
PTI, 23 January 2010, 12:30pm IST ...... The heading says it all!!!

RAZA, you are such a dumb dimwit. It is all a game, today Pak wins, tommorow India will win. Remember, that India beat Pak last year in finals. Stupid, one win does not make it a winner forever. And it has yet to win SF and then finals.

why?? because indian should not forget descency, secondly if you dont want these players they should have kept them out of auction sigting the above reasons mentioned by the author why form a syndicate and stop bidding on them?? why insult a nation??? I would have been hurt if this was done to Indian players or anyone.

why comment.if you are good then u get picked up.they were not good and they were not picked up so what?lets accept we and pakistan can never be same.we are diffrent people different religion and if they were picked they would be trouble from different parties and esp when 26/11 has happened.the media has nothing to write so they pick up these silly things.i dont know why pakistani cricters are reacting so much.enjoy in our house and family

I really feel sorry for indian people! Indian politicians get votes by bashing Pakistan. Indian TV Channels earn money by creating hype against Pakistan. And look at indians! they just repeat what their politicans and TV Anchors say! My dear indian fellows use your own brain and try to have your own opinion. Dont follow American people who are taught by CNN, FOX that Muslims are terrorists. Osama did 9/11... Do you guys really think that a group of so called terrrists under the leadership of Osama did 9/11... Do you really tink that a 10 mean came from Pakistan and attacked mumbai...??? Why would kasab and co kill kerkery? why would kasab and co attack israeli warebouts in mumbai? Why? Dont you indians think that such act would enhance Pakistan's enemity with Israel and India even further. If so then why would Pakistan and Pakistan Army do such foolish act... Think .. Think... Think...
My dear indian fellows, some stakeholders in your own government are involved in 26/11.. And Pakistani stupid goverment and puppets of US accepted it under internatinal pressure...
Bottom line is that Inidan goverment bhi uss behtee ganga me se haath dhonay ki koshish kar rahi k all muslims are terrorist or all terrorist are muslims... My dear indian fellows the only trerrorists in this world are US, UK and Israel.. Please,Please Please... my dear indian fellows try to distance from these monsters otherwise they will even destroy you fr their sack! God Bless India and God Bless Indians!

Because Pakistan is like a monkey with a wound. It will keep scratching at it (read indulge in anti- Indian schemes) till it finally succumbs to it. That is what Pakistan is doing. VINASH KALE VIPARITA BUDDHI

He thinks he is a mullah preaching in a madrassa. good attempt though. keep it up. May be ask Sonia, chidambram and Gill and yeah SRK to donate some money so you can start a real one in case you are running out of money. SRK may fund you. pseudos will too. and yeah don;t forget to ask Arjun singh for accredition of the madrassa. i know where you are going with this justification. taliban are jihads. you muslims are so blinded by religion that your brains have become filty.

why did Chidambaram have to now come up with such a statement? oh our poloticians. when the storm had lulled they recraete it! the govt has clarified it had no job in IPL selection then why bother about it now? is the home minister worried that PAK could shore up more terrorist attacks in the wake of the IPL fiasco? The IPL franchises have every right to choose who they want? And why bother to much , does the home minsiter want some pakistan players to fill their pockets with easy money? didn't hear any of these players come out against attacks in india carried out by Paksitan sponsered terrorists!!

politiciansdo your job and don't meddle in cricket!!

I completely agree with you Abhay. India has always been a country who has accepted faults gleefully encouraging them to become crimes. We have had multiple snaps from Pakistan till date ranging from the issue regarding the parliament to the 26/11 attack. In reply we have been begging for enquiries, pleading for action and so on. The state is so shameful that we have opened our doors to Pakistan to do business activities, encouraged imports for things which wont have demand had it not been for us, backed their business community with time-to time aid. IPL - our tournament, our money, our sponsors, our concept - it was teh right time to send a message across to these folks by many more instances of boycott of any Pakistani essence if there; be it players or any other medium. I really dont understand how can we as a country have such a shameless attitude towards a series of slaps we have recieved from pakistan so far. M S Gill

Its my country - I dont want to see Kasab or Afridi in India - simple as that - cant you pakis get it ?

And biggest nonsense is by SRK. he seems to have cake and eat it too. HE WAS OWNER and now he is hsowin ghis dissatisfaction for not taking Pak players. He is just doing publicity of his new coming MNIK. Mr Khan, we are not int in whether your mohter was paki or your dad was paki, you are Indian citizen so behave like one

I am wondering why these Media and some of our dirty politicians making this IPL a BIG issue like this? don't we have other things to take care in India?
I was suprised means every one starting from Sharukh, ministers, why all these guys are saying that IPL franchise should have selected pakistani players, can't we All stand up and say, YES,we have NOT SELECTED YOU AND WE WILL NOT SELECT YOU in future alsO UNTILL AND UNLESS PAKISTAN IS GOING TO STOP ALL THIS CROSS BORDER TERRORISM, what do you want you will send some bloody terrorist to make attacks on Mumbai, you will attack our parliament, you will play Kargil and with all this you want to be welcomed in our country for IPL matches?
i want to ask all and i mean all evern SRK, Ministers and evryone who are saying that pakistani player should have been selected in IPL,suppose a family living in your Neighboured and have 2 childrens, you are living Next to them. Today its your daughter birthday and one of there child come and tease your daughter and misbehaves with her, (i dont want to use stupid language here so avoid),now wht you are going to do tonight in you daughters birthday party will you be inviting there parents and other child and treat them with Dignity.because i will not.i will beat that asshole to death.
so its now upto these dirty ministers and mr. SRk to decided what they want.

In my opinion we shuld have broken all our ties with Pakistan when Kargil was done, but we welcomes mushrraf and he was the official guest, the guy behing the Kargil in which lots of our soldiers lost there lives.

let see what they are going to do i think now we need one more REVOLUTION in INDIA to make it free from corrupt ministers, and such peoples who keep appraising the enemy.
if they have to live in India, they shud think and Act as an Indian,

india should only allow pakistanis to play in IPL wen they stop supporting terriorism in our country-people like shahrukh khan should be send back to pakistan were he can organize the league

I am an Indian Muslim, a proud Indian and a proud Muslim. I was proud that we Indians had the balls to say NO to Pakis. Then we were apologetic, then excuses, then backpeddling, then taking them. Do we not understand Pakistanis, they gonna stab us in our backs. For Allah's sake, do we not remember 26/11 when innocent citizens were murdered in our streets. We are fools without balls. WE DONT WANT PAKIS in IPL, It is INDIAN Premier League, why the hell pakis want to be part of our domestic league, we they hell are we letting them in on it, after they murdered again and again our innocent citizens.

see. its not about players.. of course.. sportsman should be allowed to come and play.. but what about attcks on sri lankan players in pakistan.. where the hell .. these pakistani police and people were sleeping. This is something which led to all situation. Mere burning effigy and shouting slogans against India will not solve the problem. The fact is that they itself (Pakistanis) want a peaceful solution to the ongoing Kashmir crisis.

of course.. even I wont agree (to what ?) !!

The Paki Players or the Paki Govt has nothing to do with the IPL, this is Purely an Indian Leaugue. PCB shud concentrate more on the performance of its players a la Afridi

Vikas, we don't care either. Its your pure Indian arrogance that made this into a situation by inviting the 11 players in the first place. Offering inane excuses has made India a laughing stock in cricketing eyes and beyond. I don't think much of 20:20, despite being champions; IPL is just plain confusing for any patriotic cricketer follower. Good riddance.

Who has become a laughing stock can very well be judged by witnessing the reaction of the Pakistani players, politicians and the people overall. The players talking about national pride is all bullshit. The only thing they are upset about is the money. Go back home and learn to play test cricket first. We don't need you sore losers here on our soil.

"NACH NA JANE TO ANGAN TEDA"....You were not hired...so u donot care...even we donot care u....

I do no want to boast being No. 1 Test Nation. And I will not insult my nation by comparing it with Pakistan. India is trillion Dollar Developed Economy with peace and prosperity and proud of its achievement. While pakistan is a failed state, please US and china hard, all the time. There is nothing here to argue over. First earn your bread and butter and then dream of a money leagues like IPL

You are such a nitwit. IPL is a pure private entertainment oriented sport. Its not the world cup. No country gets the credit for anything anyway, its the sponsor's teams which do. So its stupid to make it country centric. Yes the more important thing is perhaps the monetary value involved. Sad to see the Paki folks blow it our of proportion. Maybe they should focus on what they call the NON STATE ACTORS and reign them first :)

Grapes turned sour...poor boy

I couldn't help wonder as to why would you think that its a shame on us? Its a mutual decision by the businessmen who invest there money. Its there choice to pick or kick. Look at the australian team. Only 1 out of 9 players were selected. Did u hear australian cry? And I feel sad that being a national of the country you would actually feel ashamed of what in my opinion is the rightful decision as his(paki player) fellow countrymen kill people in India and he is allowed to enjoy cricket and money. Now that would be a shame on us!!

Thanks
Jimmy

Thanks for ur comment. First of all let me correct ur facts that most of the current Australian players will be missing out on IPL 3 due to international assignments and have we forgotten that Afridi was the man of the series in the T20 World Cup 2009. So it goes for Aamer and Gul. Its definitely the personal decision of the sponsors but I am sorry to say its politically motivated. Even I am a hard-core Indian, but insulting International celebrities in not called for. They could have used better way of not including them in IPL or I must say we have a long-standing history of insulting our own national

Shaleen, Though what you have said seems like what India has been doing for ages now, being honourable and treating our enemies with respect, it has gotten us nowhere.They have mutilated our soldiers' bodies, without minimum respect for a fellow soldier, have perpetrated proxy war (back-handed) on us since they will not be able to win a full-fledged war with us, have led to evacuation of thousand of pundits in Kashmir leading them to leave their normal prosperous lives,given us 26/11.. who are we kidding.we said hindi-chini bhai bhai, we got 1962 war, we propounded importance of trade ties for pakistanis' good, we got kargil..when the enemy is honourable, what you says works..we do not have an option but to pay back in the same coin,this doesnt mean we commit excesses against them and Not bidding for pakistanis is not an excess or terrorism like they have been propagating against us, but a small reminder to them as to what thy can lose if they do not have proper relations with us, and maintain peace in the sub continent.
Cheers
Kiran

Oh! so u mean to say..shaking hands on a peace treaty

@shaleen,u might have forgot the way afridi behave with deccan teams in first ipl. this people r not having any shame.

Shaleen, why dont u migrate to Pak? Am sure the govt. will more than welcome u, ur mind anyways dont seem to belong to this country. Why take the trouble to stay here anymore. Trust me no-one no-one will even once ask u to stay back here. Do us a favour plss

Abhimanyu, Cricket is a religion above Hinduism and Islam in India and Pakistan both. Its a shame on your and my indianness that u r asking a fellow indian to migrate to Pak just because free speech is allowed in this country...Beggars cant be chosers but Owners can be..So if the owners have decided(politically motivated though) to not choose Paki players then its perfectly alright.....This would be same as if, You go out in the market to buy Potatoes,and suddenly some goonda has forced you to buy from a basket of low quality Potatoes Keeping the good ones aside (for some crazy reason)....I guess u r perfectly fine with this kind of attitude, ain't U?????

IPL is INDIAN LEAGUE!!!
so all the decisions would be INDIA'S!!!
instead of crying "we are humiliated" and shouting about conspiracy theories the Pakistani nationals should take a look at there own country and think wisely why all this has happened!!!
As the saying goes "as u sow, so shall u reap".

Why should you consider this as a shame. It is the right of the owner of the team to bid or not. When you goto shop you do not pick all that is on show you pick only what you feel safe and sure. Being an Indian you take on this is very very surprising. Probably you not from Mumbai then you will know the hurt.The security of all the other players and the comfort of the players is more important than the paki players.

Pakistan, who cares.

It has nothing to do if they are world beaters or world eaters. This is T20 run by individual clubs and for their benefit incidentally they also select global talents.

The issue is really is that It is beneath "india" to treat people like this--pakistani or otheriwse. Our culture is quite specific about how to treat Guests and travellers. It would've been fine just like IPL @ that we are not including Pakistani players because of political turmoil. nobody would've thought any different but to ask them to come and apply for Visa and participate in the auction and then drop them for non-cricketing reason just because of nationality. India can and should do better.

Oh! u mean to say shaking hands on a peace talk

Well, I think the greatness of our country lies in the fact that we are democratic and there is freedom of speech. Just because a citizen does not agree with the majority there is no need to question their patriotism. Let us show the world that we are a mature functioning democracy where people are allowed to express their thoughts without any fear. Let us not Talibanize India.

@ Gayathri
Change the attitude, no other country cares abt it. remember offence is the best policy for defence. Be practical, why we attach so much of importance to what pakistan feels. do u expect any positive from pakis? since 1947 it never happened. Count wot v received from our moron naibour.

please talk to me3:08 pm
real india world nr 1

India's shame: Sexual slavery, the Prostitution Racket and Child prostitutes ... in world nr 1

India's external debt was $442.8 billion at the end of September 2009

The "largest democracy in the world" does not have a clean human rights records. Every year,Millions of people are imprisoned for ...without charges of trials. Torture and ill-treatment are common, and thousand have died in custody. Thousand more are victims of extra-judicial executions or forced "disappearances". Armed groups commit grave human rights violations, including killings, tortures and rapes, with impunity

did you cook this for your lunch? these numbers are good. keep cooking up more numbers - you moron.

And how exactly this has to anything with this Blog or IPL for that matter.... Idiot

hahaha...look who is talkin...the breeding ground of terrorists across the world where a bomb goes off every other minute

yes it is shame on us untill we have indian who thing like u

gentleman players like Sohail Tanveer, Mohammed Aamer etc?? Are you kidding? These are the gentlemen who are crying foul after not been included in IPL-3 claiming that IPL-3 was (mis)using their pictures for publicity and that by not including them IPL organisers have insulted the nation, game of criket and so on... Such gentlemen can sit back at home and enjoy some exicting cricket @IPL3.

If you are saying that just because the relations are not going good with Pakistan what the IPL franchisee did was right then they should have done the same with the australian player because what is happening in australia is also straining india-australia relations then why this exception. Isn't it double standards.......

being a sports lover i would luv to see a good team and i dont mind which country they belong too. Don't mix politics with sports.......

what is happening in Australia is not government sponsored and they don't want to destroy India. But our neighbor want to destroy us . Thats the difference.

That's a smart reply. Australia doesn't want to destroy us; but Pakistan does. For last 50 years, Pak has tried to destroy India. Their civic society has never criticized these extreme actions and has blamed India when Indians are always victims. We don't want Pakis coming to india and earning all fame and fortune and continue being a menace on other side. No need to be apologetic to any pak cricketers. Also IPL is private, so they can make their own decisions.

Have you ever lost a single relative or a person you knew in terrorism sponsored by pakistan? If you had, then you would have been supporting non inclusion of pak players. All those who are in favor of Pakistan players, please think about the people who have been killed in terrorism sponsored by Pakistan...
You morons.....you can sell your mother in the name of "Aman Ki Asha"..!!!

Actually, Anuj, pakistans' themselves are losing loved ones every day in bomb blasts in pakistan...i'm sure that these people haven't agreed to it. Also, I want to emphasis the fact that when you indians talk about pakistan you should not generalise. You have to realise that the majority (I should say nearly all) of Pakistan population does not agree with terrorism of any kind...

Shagun,

You seems to be mentally unstable by saying Pakistan=Australia.

Australia or citizens there dont hate India at all and not running terrorits camps to de-stabilize India.

Shagun,i agree with you but only on paper.If we get a little prudent and think,it will be very clear that Australian racism is nothing in comparison to the animosity between india and pakistan.

curry bashing in australia is nothing compared to the terrorist attacks by the pakis.....to some extent racisim is exp. in all the countries and even in india. we can for give the aussies...but certainly not the pakis....the tension with is now more that 60 years..and we have forgiven them on many occassions and have tried to bridge this gap tthrough sports...but enough is enough. esp after 26/11.....
We dont need to entertain any pakis in india for any reason....

Of course sports and politics are related. Stop parotting that old tiring line by Imran Khan. If they continue to send terrorists into India, like they have been doing since independence, then relations will become so soiled that even sports and normal interation will be impossible. All Pakistani products, artists, cultural exchanges(whatever their culture is) should be banned from Indian soil. The majority of Indians hate Pakistan and everything they stand for so playing sport with them is meaningless. It is time for the rest of the world to follow suit and ban the Pakistani cricket team from any future tours. Banning them would be in the global interest because Pakistan cricket and their followers repulse a lot of people. Have you ever been to a Pakistan cricket match? They chant only two things; 'Pakistan Zindabad', and 'Allahu Akbar'. Who the hell wants to play sport with them?

True pakistan citizen are showing disrespect but same time what indian citizen are showing with kismiris,

What Kashmir?its a integral part of India so we do as we want.
First you solve Baluchistan problem then lets talk abt kashmir

Which Kasmiris r u talking bout???the Kasmiri Pandits...who were butchered by the Muslim militants

Please answer this without getting emotional.
If this was done for Pakistani leaders are harboring terrorist then they should have made it clear already. What was the point of doing all the drama of getting clearance from Pakistani Government etc?

kiya toh kiya..kya ukhaad loge...when u kill innocent indias ...do u ask

Moshin,it's not for pakistani leaders that they are harbouring terrorists.franchisees invest heavily and they have the right to chose or not to chose.Imagine,your corrupt,inefficient leaders of Pakistan allow one more TERRORIST ACTIVITY LIKE MUMBAI 26/11(YOUR OWN TOP GOVERNEMNT CHAP HAS SAID FEW DAYS BACK THAT HE CANT GUARANTEE ABOUT THIS TYPE OF ATTACK ON INIDAN SOVERIGNITY)!such an inept and cowardly leader and his group need not make all these hue and cry over this!what right they have in condmning IPL and its franchisees?We all love to watch any good and excellent player whether he is a pakistani or Australian or any one else. its sad Pakistanis cant participate,but you should understand the ground realities.If Pakistan doesnot curb the terrorist activites,the days wont be far,in every sporting sphere,the players will be ignored/barred by every nation.Just introspect yourself about the state of affairs in ur own country and you will know.

@abu, nobody invited to ipl, players beg to be included.
