@nikhil25

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).

Not exactly true. IPL is an Indian tournament accredited by ICC, which allows the franchisees to play a max of 4 international players in their playing XI. End of the day, BCCI calls the shots in IPL.
