(edited by staff ) Pakistani Cricketers nay kiya kiya tha tumhara.......................

--Edited for profanity--

 Im not so keen to tell "Tumne kya kiya tha humara", woh tho bas tum log jaante hi ho ki humare desh main aake kya kya kiya.

But then not surprising to see no Pak cricketers getting sold, for there was no attempt being made by anyone to assure IPL franchisees that Pak players would be fully available. You can't even blame Indian govt. for it. They've got just themselves to blame IMO.

7 Pak players played in IPL 1, none played in IPL 2 and it didn't affect IPL in anyways, the show went on. Ofcourse we would be deprived of watching young Pak sensation like Aamer,Umar Akmal. But then show must go on. Got no one to blame.

Why will there be visa issues for Pakistani players if it's played in India? Can't BCCI and the government give the franchises assurances that the Pakistani players on auction will be guaranteed entry in to the country?

I think it's pretty bad they couldn't do that for these players.

This is from CNN

"I'd heard prior to the auction that franchises were being advised not to bid for Pakistani players as the players from Pakistan would not be issued with visas by the Indian government, and that is precisely what has happened," Umar Khan told www.pakpassion.net.

As usual there will be cries of all this being premeditated. All Indian channels here are filled with Afridi's interview , where he says govt. should've helped etc etc. Ramiz Raja virtually cried on TV .

I just watched a 30 min live program on this IPL, Lalit Modi, Shilpa, Preity, Ms.Reddy, Mr.Wadia, Jai Mehta were all present. This question came about Pak players being not picked. To me I didnt feel anything wrong, as just 2-3 slots were available to be filled and listening to each owners requirements they must have not picked Pakistani's. If seen even Australians haven't been picked, except one. Franchises have had this bad experiences of non-availability of players in between, and looking at the on going tensions between IND-PAK, Owners must have thought it would be safe not to make huge investment buying a PAk player and lose them later, for IPL's still few months away and who knows when our neighbor would carry out another Terror attack like the Mumbai one. 

It is funny players like parnell gets $ 610,000/ retired Damien Martyn gets 100,000 and Shane Bond gets 750,000.
Welagedara unsold, Afridi unsold & Sakib Al Hasan unsold. This auction is rubbish & racist.

If the players were truly picked on merit then there is no reason that the world champions were not selected. a calculated move by bcci to further dent pakistani cricket, morale, and spirit.

Beware of the backlash.. Pakistan play hard. You have a point to prove.

so enjoyable to see da process of buying n selling our n mny cricketerz over there..
really interesting..woaahh.!!!

Read this guys:

...the inclusion of Pakistani players in the IPL's final auction list, released on January 6, was on the basis of specific requests received from the franchises - every player on that list had to be officially sought by at least one franchise. It is not clear what changed in the franchises' thinking within two weeks.

ha ha ha ha ! pakistanis got served!!!

Who needs these Pakistanis anyway?

 Nobody bought  Ryan Ten doeschate!!!

At $20'000, I would've  bought him.. 

Seriously, there is something really wrong if Boom Boom Afridi is not bought for a T/20.
Sanath189, how can you say it's all based on ability? 
If Afridi can't play T20, who can then?

What about that  Aamer kid?

Now you know why I don't like or follow IPL T20 league games. 

It's all either fixed, biased or pointless.

 SMSD, I did mean that in a different way. This auction ain't racist.

Okay now if I was owning a team, I too wouldn't have picked any Pakistani player. For there's no guarantee that in the next few months there won't be anymore terror attacks on Indian cities. TBH everyday we hear reports of firing across Line of Control near Kashmir. There's always this tension between 2 nations. Looking at this any team wouldn't take the risk of investing huge money buying these players who are not guaranteed to be available by the time IPL starts. 

Instead of Pak sports minister asking an apology from his Indian counterpart, It would be great if his govt. looks to eliminate Taliban in his SWAT Province. Pakistan got just themselves to blame.

 Poppycock!! Pakistani Cricket players aren't to be blamed for what terrorists get up to.

It's unrealistic to seek that assurance from Cricketers.

It's just a lame Indian excuse because Indians don't want to see Pakistani players (not even proven high caliber T20 players like Afridi).
I thought these Cricketers were available to play and they have been cleared to play by Pakistani Cricket Board? Why wouldn't they be available to play?

Seems to me that they are not picked picked by any franchise owners based on their nationality or religion.

It may not fit the definition of "racist" but it certainly is prejudice IMO.

 Very nice article with an alternative view about this issue by good friend Homer.

 // How about all the "proud" Sri-Lankans came out in the previous years and said "To hell with BCCI flexing their financial muscle, India created the most ruthless terrorist outfit in the world that has plagued our country for over 30 years (LTTE), so let's not play Cricket with Indians"?

That would be the final nail in the coffin of SL cricket. Even Aust will struggle with out Indian market. Beggar can't be the chooser. 

Well, Pakistan players are being pushed by all parties. Some countries are not visiting them, they are not welcome to play for certain leagues. It is so unfair as a cricket fan to look at that particular country's cricket going backwards. It was great Pakistan won the 20/20 championship this year, they deserved it. May be Indian are jealous.

Actually this is Indian premier league. There is tension between the 2 countries. Pakistan Terror groups come and cowardly carry out attacks in India. It's reasonable if they ignore Pakistan cricketers.  

Why make such a fuss about "Pakis" not being selected? There were many other players who weren't selected and whose statistics were even better than even Paki players. For example many Aussies were also ignored, did they make a hue outta this issue? even after the ongoing racist attacks against Indians? Then why only Pakis? BCCI for that matter never invited/begged Paki players to come and play in the IPL....they them self were greedy for money. And sudden statements after not being auctioned shows their height of narrow mindedness. Sohail Tanwir even went on high and bashed "Hindus" in an interview or a talk show. Protests are even going on in their parliament, why? Just because they weren't selected by "Indian" IPL franchise's? If the franchise weren't interested on buying them, its their wish after they are the one's who'd be spending heck of money and they'd surely think in terms of their team-point of view and if Paki players don't fit in....thats how it is.

 I get emotional when I see your comment with picture of that murdered student. But I have to say, Indians must change their attitude if they want to live in another country.
- Stop accepting low paid jobs.
- Maintain proper hygiene level.
- Speak English regularly.
- Cool dresses.
- Stop being dodgy/ greedy.

Listen, We do not follow above mentioned features that is why we do not get bashed.

Im a huge SL cricket fan,But i strongly believe that wat happened 2 PAK players r nt fair..there will b more reasons..but itz UNFAIR..ohh gosh even BOOM_BOOM iznt dea...,,,,our THIsara iz very lucky 2 select 4 a strong team lyk CSK..
but as v all know dat cricket iz a gentlemen's game,such thingz may affect itz quality....dnt worry PAK players n fans,u will get a chance sumde..

Ganster you seems to be throwing pot shot at Sujan. Please stop that. Racist comments like those isn't nice.  

Hw can u play t20 without afridi? He is da king for hitting sixes and a great legspinner.So only 1 reason to leave shahid afridi.That is not about the talent or skills or experiance.But The reason is Indians are hate pakistani cricketers.
They only think Indians are the best.But have to say bangladesh bowling line up is better than indian bowling line up.

Indian Pension League 

Sanath189,

Come on even you must agree that the following is just rubbish. It is not OK to hate Pakistani sportsmen and have such deep rooted hate for all people of a certain country.

INDIA’S genius and strength lie in its rich diversity. This country of 1.2 billion people with 22 official languages is a vibrant melting pot of cultures, united in the pride of being Indian. This most obviously manifests itself on the cricket pitch but it can be seen in every major urban area, with the knowledge that India, after years of stagnation, now has one of the world’s fastest growing economies.

In the light of its expanding list of achievements, the activities of India’s minority of bigots is thrown into sharp relief. The behavior of the Hindu Shiv Sena thugs in the country’s commercial capital Mumbai is a particularly deplorable example of blind prejudice that is being exploited by a handful of politicians in a vain attempt to ride to power.

The latest manifestation of this objectionable group’s bigotry has come with violent protests at the Mumbai screenings of a new Bollywood film, “My Name Is Khan”.

The reason for the riots could not be more pathetic. The film’s star, Shah Rukh Khan, one of the leading actors in India’s thriving film industry, had commented that it was a pity no Pakistani cricketers had been chosen to play in the Indian Premier League. This view is shared by many other Indians who regret that apparently for political reasons, though security seems also to have been an issue, talented players from India’s equally cricket-mad neighbor have not been selected for this highly prestigious competition.

The response of Shiv Sena has been disgusting. Using intimidation, it first endeavored to stop cinema managements from showing the film. When this failed and 21,000 police were deployed to protect some 60 theaters screening “My Name Is Khan”, Shiv Sena mobilized hundreds of bully boys who attempted to storm police lines and enter the cinemas. This happened despite the pre-emptive arrest of up to 1,000 activists. The bigots are demanding that Khan apologize for and retract his perfectly innocuous remark. Khan has indeed expressed regret publicly that something he said should have caused such a furious reaction. He protested that he was only an actor whose job was to entertain, not upset.
