Ehsan Bhai : Please note

1. The IPL is an Independent Body and thus can chose its Participants.

2. The IPL is an Indian Domestic Organization and Pakistanis or any other Non-Indians have any right of Participation “per se”. Indeed no Indian has a “Right” to be selected to play for the Teams comprising the IPL.

3. It is unimaginable for the Pakistani Public to feel hurt at their Players not being included in the IPL. The next thing is for them to feel hurt at other Indian Institutions i.e. Business, Educational, Industrial, Health, Welfare, Defence, Government Services etc. etc. i.e. Every Indian Institution not employing and/or not including Pakistanis in their Institutions.

It would be a sad day if indeed statements were to be made of the Pakistani People being hurt at not being included in EVERY INDIAN ACTIVITY-SPHERE in India.

I trust that we can have a healthy discussion of Mr. Afridi’s latest “Wish List”.

your post makes very little sense. this is not a legal issue to be adjudicated in a court of law.

the IPL is not the ranji trophy. it is a highly internationalized tournament with cricketers from all countries participating…so it’s reasonable for a pakistani cricketer to express displeasure with the fact that pakistan was the only country to be excluded.

with that said, i’m not sure that anybody knows why they were excluded from IPL 4. that was never really made clear or even highlighted in the media (unlike IPL 3).
