No Pakistani player in IPL3

Everybody is talking about that no Pakistani cricketers are picked up in IPL3 and Shahid Afridi feels that India has made fun of Pakistan by this act but what I feel is that this issue is not that big that one start commenting that India is making fun of Pakistan. One should understand that the franchisees who are bidding for the players are doing it for business and not because of any personal liking for these players and rule is simple that if they are putting so many bucks on these players they definitely want returns and if there is no surety about the players being available then nobody will put money on them. There are so many things that can impact the availability of Pakistani players like terror strikes, visa problems or MNS protests that may trouble in organizing the games as most of the games will be played in Mumbai only. After spending so much if the player don't play in the tournament then it will be a loss to the franchisee which they definitely don’t want to face otherwise there is no doubt in anybody's mind that its really nice to see Pakistani players playing together with Indian players and their inclusion in any tournament will definitely will put extra spark in that but all the logistics needs to be checked before going any further so personally I feel this has happened purely because of business and nothing else.
Some people also commented that if there are so many issues with Pakistani player inclusion then these players must not be put for auction, but what I feel is that this kind of decision will send more wrong signals to everybody that they are completely excluded from it rather they should be part of the auction and now this is up to the franchisee to decide whether they want to take that risk or not.

  2. I totally agree with ur point of view. One more possiblity could be that pakisatn engage themself into Mumbai attack part 2 then Pakistan team themself pull out of the IPL3. In such scenario who will be answerable to IPL team owners. If I am correct similar to this has happened in IPL2 or ICL.

    Keep going sir ji. You are an inpiration to my dead blog :)
