No Pakistani Player in IPL, Why Chide India?
By Gul Raiz • Jan 19th, 2010 • Category: Entertainment, Politics • 14 CommentsGiven the performance of the Pakistani cricketers in the international cricket, no wonder the Indian Premier League will be played without them this year like the previous one. No team in the IPL made bid for the Pakistani player and the media is trying to find out yet another conspiracy in this.
We shouldn’t be putting our burder on others. Honestly enough, no Pakistani cricketer right now deserves international or events like IPL. No bowler, no batsman or fielder or keeper is worth his salt. They are old, out of touch, non-professionals and rife with fights and anger and politics.
Why would IPL buy them for enormous money? Can you trust Shahid Afridi? What has he done for Pakistan in all these years expect crashing the hopes of Pakistanis in 99% of matches and indulging in petty politics? Which bowler deserves to be bought? Need I say anything about fielding or about our openers or about wicket keeper or any middle order idiot?
IPL has provided us once again a chance for retrospection and to overhaul the whole team.

hey dude..calm down. Our 20/20 team cannot be denied. We have some of the finest playeres in the world in this format of the game…have you forgot that we are world champions Yes granted the longer format of the game seems to mentally challenge our players and this is a huge problem, but please be fair in your appraisal and look at both sides of the coin…this is a political decision being played out on the cricket field, how sad, how insecure the indians are, total fear ..peace !
Pakistani players lack class as hum beings due to the fanatic mindset that has engulfed Pakistani society fro decades.
Shame on u Man! shahid afridi, umar gul are the ones who brought u the World Cup T20, a ray of sunshine for pakistan cricket after a LONG long time… whatever happened yesterday at the IPL auction in my view was yet another dirty move by india. Our players should boycott IPL!!! IPL is all about commericial success and out of the players put up for auction, pakistani players were the ones with the most star value and the ones who people really enjoy watching!
instaed of supporting your team you are criticizing! u should be ashamed of yourself…
Pakistan Zindababad!!!
Afridi’s and Jamaat-i-Islami’s emir’s outburst shows the mindset of Pakistani Cricketers. They cannot understand IPL. This is NOT Pakistan/India cricket match or playing for country’s pride.This is a money making enterprise started by an Indian MBA Modi which is the envy of Australians and Englishmen. This is all about SPONSORSHIP AND TV VIEWER SHIP. and MONEY, MONEY ,MONEY by showing cricket, dancing girls and other entertainment.
Why west Indian Keiron Pollard fetched an amount of rupees nearly 5 crores and mrs A,mbani paid another 7 crores to IPL to get him. Why? She wanted a player who is available 100% for the team.Last time Mohamed Asif and his drug related problem costed the IP{L company lot of money. Now Afridi, Tanveer and my personal favorite Misbah are outstanding cricketers but they have to do duty for Pakistan also. That is why the franchisees didnot touch the Pakistanis and Australian Haddin.They have learnt their lesson and would not have paid anything for Flintoff, Peterson or Ponting.They want 100%. players
Now Pakistan has never heard of an Indian player called Manish Pandey or Vinay Kumar. They will light up IPL this time due to their talent. Board of cricket in India and Pakistan are ruled by POLITICIANS IN INDIA AND GENERALS IN PAKISTAN. Politicians in India understand money while Generals in Pakistan even now try to side with Australians,Englishmen instead of Asian cricket mafia and earn money for their players or board.
you guys just crack me up
ipl is all about business.
getting Pakistani players is just bad business ,especially now and may even bring down the TV revenue for some of the franchises if they had got some of them
I got this from a friend and i thought is should share here.
“”" Pakistan cannot blame India for IPL, non-state actors did it!!!!!!
The bottomline is this is not about Cricket, this is about how we do business in India.
The fact that not even one franchise bid on even one Pakistani player points to tacit collusion. The IPL franchises behaved like a cartel to discriminate against players of certain nationality. Now IPL as a League could have formally barred all players of Pakistani origin, but they chose not to do so, thus betraying a certain lack of business ethic.
Yes, IPL as a private business has the right to do what it wants but that right is not beyond the ethics and values how any business must conduct itself. Tacit collusion by a cartel to discriminate against individuals based on origin doesnt speak highly of IPL’s ethics and values as a private business.
It is one thing if the Indian State were to bar Pakistani citizens from participating in commerce in India by denying them visas.
Cricket players from Pakistan who were passed over by IPL did not come by boat illegally without visas. They were ready to sign up to perform in India legally playing by Indian laws.
If granted a legal visa to perform in India there should be no basis for any cartel to tacitly collude and discriminate against any group of individuals be it Pakistani cricketers or Chinese Engineers.
This issue is not about Cricket.
This issue is about transparency, business ethics and how we do business in India”"”
I think this fellow has a point here?
I think what has happened should open our eyes. But I am sure it would prove to be beneficial as it did in the past. I mean we were not there in the IPL Season 2 and we won the World Cup so dont worry and about the capability of the Pakistani Players in 20/20. Well Afridi is playing for South Australia right now and performing well ,the fact that he was approached by the Australlian Team to represent them in the Big Bash is enough to prove his potential and he surely has delivered they are in the Final now courtesy 2 ,Man Of the Match Performances by Afridi.Rana Naveed and Sohail Tanvir were also there and also Umar Gul represented a team in a season.And dont try to judge them in 20/20 on the basis of their performance in Tests its a different ball game altogether. I think the Cricket and IPL have lost in this whole scenario…And there are not many Australians in it as well the Standard So High.
Indian People are calling it a right thing at a right time. Pakistani terror is being exported, stay in Pakistan, World does not want to see Pakis, all these reactions show, how concerned these writers are with Pakistanis or Pakis. As far I see, Paki poets come to India, they won everything, Paki singer come to India, they win over hundred of Indians, Pakistani cricket team beat the whole world including India in WorldT20, so it is natural that Indians, have this type of re-action. Do not play with Pakistan and do not be humiliated. Some Indian music directors calling, Aatif Aslam a bad singer, who does not know “SUR” but why all songs sung by this “BESURA” singer are “HIT”, so it is natural that Indians, are in the opinion not to call Pakistanis and be humiliated.
There is no doubt that lack of education in most Pakistanis, tribal areas, Al-qaeda migration from Palestine and Saudi Arabia, Tabliban, Kashmir, Corrupt government, USA policies, Political parties affiliation with “Enemies of Pakistan” are main cause of Pakistan going down. A country which was the most developing country in ASIA in 1960/1970, came into USA/Israel eyes as Muslim strong hold under Bhutto regime. India, who is very friendly with Iraq/iran/Afghanistan who are also muslim countries, also joined USA/Israel against Pakistan. I believe if Pakistan had not this Atomic Bomb, India, who is obviously helped by Israel (who is child of USA), would be attacking and killing Pakistan border cities and killing Pakistanis everyday, like Isreal is doing in Palestine. Who do you think attacked Sri Lankan team in Lahore?
Now I believe Pakistan as nation must STOP talking for bilateral issues and peace negotiations with INDIA without India coming down from its imaginary higher grounds, Pakistani cricket and all sports persons must STOP playing in India. PLAY at neutral locations. Even if World cup Semi Finals or Finals are fixed in Indian cities and Pakistan, reach to this stage, they must ask for a Neutral location. Indians are trying to destroying Pakistani Cricket but they cannot defeat Cricket Lovers in Pakistan. Who always enjoyed Cricket in all forms leaving polictics aside. But enough is enough. STOP Indian agression by force now.
The third IPL auction, held in Mumbai on Tuesday, has been overshadowed by a controversy arising from the fact that not a single Pakistani player of the 11 on the auction list - including several of the World Cup-winning team - was picked up. Pakistan’s players have reacted with anger and attributed the blackout to politics; the IPL has said it was the franchises’ decision and the franchises have explained it on grounds of cricketing strategy or availability during the tournament.
However, 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.
Hahahahahahehehehehe :o)
Awesome job in insulting the Pakis by IPL, I absolutely loved it!
Well, Mr.Afridi_whose_terrorist_cousin_was_killed_by_Indian_forces_in_Kashmir, no need to show false sympathy by saying Indian fans will miss seeing Pakis like you in action. No, we won’t!! :o)
In case you still have missed the larger point being made, BEGGARS from TERRORISTAN are NOT WELCOME in INDIA!! :o)
HOHO this is completely funny. Nothin like this. No freakin Paki in IPL. They are the world champions of T20(big deal). We still dont want you.
Try begging better next time.
India and Pakistan was always ecual and one but our politions are make a big vaqume in betwen population of these countries.
The public of these counters are leave in ecule and one.
our pakistani players are the best t20 players but india still ignored them thats not good
mere khyal ma sport ko polltics me nahi lana chahia
