Well…at that time it will be the BCCI and Indian govt behind the security of players…at this time it is the IPL which I do not believe has the same infrastructure or backing from the government to ensure the safety of Pak players without support from BCCI…
When BCCI backed out of the security assurance thing…there was very little the IPL franchisees could do…
Ofcourse there is no denying that the whole thing was an implicit way of not having the Pak players over and could have definitely been handled better…Even with all the business sense that India is beginning to exhibit these days there is still a lot of irresponsible behavior at the organizational level…
A statement like the one in Gaurav Kalra’s blog should have definitely been in order…
