IPL Snub to Pakistanis...What's the big deal?

I am surprised to see the reactions from all quarters about Pakistani Players being snubbed by IPL3 franchisees! Its a pity that Pakistanis are so hurt and bruised and people across the border have started shading crocodile tears! Here are the reasons why one should term these reactions as over reaction!
  • Indian Premier League (IPL) is a private body that organizes matches. It is no where connected, controlled or managed by Government of India.
  • IPL contains few franchisees who have invested in millions to form their teams. Ultimately, IPL franchisees are Indian Businessmen who want to make profits out of cricket-plain and simple)
  • IPL Franchisees bid for international players with heavy amounts to procure/hire resources (players)
  • This time, around 11 slots were available to be filled and franchisees picked up appropriate players according to their choice. (After all its franchisee's money/investment...they have the rights whom to choose or whom to exclude)
  • Around 50+ other players didnt get selected this time. No players from Zimbabwe or Bangladesh could get a berth. Many big names like Brad Hadin, Grame Swan, Bolinger etc didnt get a chance.
  • Pakistanis were similarly excluded for obvious reasons. Its for their availabilities. Why? Remember IPL2? These same players were not allowed by Pakistan Govt to play in India. All the Franchisee's had to pay the price.
  • This time no one wants to take a chance with Pakistan. Not even am admee of India. B'coz, for obvious reasons that one can realize through introspection.
  • Then why this buzz all of a sudden? Pakistan Players never cry if they dont get short listed for English County Cricket or even KFC Big Bash? Why they are worried to play in IPL?
  • Its all about BIG MONEY dear. Dont bring Nationality to it. Today Pakistan Int. Minister Rehman Mallik feels its a big insult by India coz their players didnt get a chance for IPL3. Tomorrow, they will cry if a Pakistani software engineer didnt get a job with Infosys or TCS!
  • Govt. of India, yesterday clarified that they have already issued 20 Visas to Pakistani Players for IPL3.
  • If Pakistan Hockey Team does not want to visit India...so be it! Whats the big deal? Togo didnt play in the African Cup recently...the tournament didnt stop right!
  • Pakistani MP's dont wanna visit India....then what...??? Who cares...after all Pakistan is a victim of these politicians. What the heck they would have done in India...we have bucket full of MPs here and we are already in headache!
  • Pakistani players wont play in future IPLs...! Oh my god...1as if as a result billion Indians wont get food!!. Common stop these kraps! You dont wanna play thts your problem...you would loose out big money...and some other players would earn!
  • Once for all, no one understands but understands it clearly it is TRP that gets going for any news on IPL, India & Pakistan!
  • Common man wonders what is the benefit if Afridi hits a six for Chennai Super Kings or for Karachi Lions???
  • If India as a country snubs Pakistan in a cricket match both on or off the field, then this buzz would have more entertaining for us. After all we are accustomed to Pakistan's over reactions to nonsense most of the time where as their entire nation goes deaf when Indian people die by Pakistani Terrorists!
  • Have any doubt?...Ask Azmal Kasab!

I totally agree with the blogger. There is no reason why they should feel insulted.

Hi,

I dont think Indian Govt has anything to do with IPL. What you have said is right. Pakistanis are over reacting.

Hello Sir,

I am a big fan of Afridi. They IPL conducted the whole bidding process was not correct. IPL should have frankly told them not to apply this time.

However, what you told is logically correct. Pakistan has over reacted a bit. At least this is not the right time for Pakistanis to play in India.
