Re: IPL auction: Pakistani players ignored
Maybe IPL doesn't want third class, crack under pressure, jelly in the knees players anymore?
Keep the trash out, IPL.

No wonder indians have a great record against Australia. Stop being buissness sluts and be good sports, atleast they lost with pride.
and who in the world does that to their guests? only indians
Re: IPL auction: Pakistani players ignored
Finally, someone who agrees that the whole IPL debacle was disrespectful to the Pak players, irrespective of the reasons that franchises may cite for not selecting them… Shahrukh Khan speaking to NDTV: SRK to NDTV: Pak players should have been bought
Re: IPL auction: Pakistani players ignored
saying that pakistani players were disrespected is a fair point...based on their initial inclusion.
saying that the disrespect was intentional and part of some conspiracy by "the indians" still has no basis. who are these indians?...government? BCCI? IPL? franchise owners? all in collusion?
why would "the indians" include pakistanis in the auction and then ensure they weren't selected? just the motivation of humiliating them? vengeance for the mumbai terrorist attacks?
I wonder why SRK didnt buy a Pak player then ? He owns the KKR franchise.
LOOOOL have to give it to the Indians, pretty funny way to shame a nation and then watching the drama unfold by the players *****ing. The players have no izzat at all and are a total disgrace to Pakistanis. Kudos to the Slumdogs.
P.S - To all Pakistani loving Indian, up yours.

You tell us. It did happen, it is not fiction and please stop playing the security and business sense trumpet.
Re: IPL auction: Pakistani players ignored
I just wonder why are we being so courteous to these cunning indians on paklinks? They should be kicked in the bottom and told firmly that it is a Pakistani forum and anyone who insults us will be paid in the same coin.
Who in his right mind anyway want to visit that [EMAIL="cr@py"]cr@py country called india? Greedy Pak players should have been aware of these new money indians.
They have learned a lesson, but alas at the cost of national humiliation!
From now on, indian games should be banned to be aired in Pak. Also no threads should be allowed to be opened on Paklinks involving indian team.
Complete ban on indian TV, cinema!
Pak should not send the hockey team to india. Lets start a campaign for that!
We should involve China in cricket now, given how smart our chinese friends are, I am sure they can learn it very fast and then we have a counterweight to indian bully in the ICC.
Chidambaram:Non-inclusion of Pak players in IPL 'disservice to cricket'
I am happy that again Chidambaram is being intelligent and raising its voice against the injustice that is done to world of cricket. Ego should not play a role in cricket.
Non-inclusion of Pak players in IPL 'disservice to cricket': Chidambaram
NEW DELHI (updated on: January 25, 2010, 18:25 PST): Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram has termed non-inclusion of Pakistani players in IPL as a 'disservice to cricket', Aaj News reported on Monday.
In an interview to India TV, he said there was no "hint or nudge" from the Indian government to do so.
He admitted that some of Pakistani players are "among the best Twenty20" cricket players.
"I think it is disservice to cricket that some of these players were not picked. I don't know why the IPL teams acted in the manner they acted," the minister told Times Now.
He said that cricket lovers are disappointed that no player from Pakistan was picked. I think that could have been avoided, he added.
Umar Akmal was the No. 1 pick for Rajasthan Royals - Darren Berry, RR coach
An excerpt from the article in Dawn:
The report comes just as Darren Berry, former Australia first-class cricketer and a member of the Rajasthan Royals coaching staff, revealed that** teenage Pakistani batsman Umar Akmal was the Royals top pick for this season’s IPL auction** and was surprised at the omission. He wrote:
“After spending the past two weeks in India preparing for the Indian Premier League in March, I am staggered at the recent treatment of the Pakistan players. I agree with Shahid Afridi that he and his countrymen were humiliated in the IPL auction in Mumbai last week. …I do not have all the information - and possibly never will as this was a very delicate issue played out behind the scenes. However, I do know - due to my coaching role with the Rajasthan Royals - that a few weeks ago Umar Akmal was No. 1 priority on the Royals’ shopping list. All of a sudden he was not available. As the auction unfolded live on TV in India, it became evident that it wasn’t just Umar Akmal who was in the no-go zone, but all of the Pakistan players. The press in India asked plenty of questions but got few straight answers.”
Do you have the facts !!!
The facts:
Pakistan first allowed players to go for IPL 2 … since they were going in their individual capacity so their security will be their own responsibilty or the IPL teams …
Pak players get NOC to take part in IPL: Cricket Next
Karachi: The Pakistan Sports Ministry has said it has no objection if the Pakistani cricketers decide to take part in the second edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in April but made it clear that their security would be their own and respective IPL team’s responsibility.
Later on had a change of heart … and said because of “security concerns” it was not allowing its players to go …
Cricketers stopped from going to India for IPL -DAWN - Top Stories; February 03, 2009
ISLAMABAD, Feb 2: Pakistan barred its cricketers on Monday from travelling to India and playing in the Indian Premier League tournament. The decision has been taken because of security concerns.
India cancelled its tour in December … if that was the case then there was no need to give the permission in the first instance !!!
As i have said before , Pakistan players not playing in IPL is IPL’s loss … but to think there was conspiracy, then the answer is no. Though i mist agree that it could have been handled in a better way !!!
Miandad upset at Pakistan players’ omission from IPL
Now it seems Miandad is upset over this issue … last year he called IPl a joke … now he is upset Pakisanis are not allowed to play in this “joke” 
Former Pakistan cricket great Javed Miandad has called on the game’s governing body to take control of Twenty20 tournaments after none of the country’s players attracted any bids from Indian Premier League teams during its auction for players on Tuesday.
If that was not enough he took the issue to a new level … calling it a “humiliation” for the whole nation
It’s nothing less than humiliation - not only of our cricketers but the whole nation," Miandad, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s director of operations, told the Associated Press.
Well if only he had similar view last year … when Pakistan decide not to play in IPL … that time …
DAWN.COM | Cricket | IPL is a joke: Miandad
**The ICC must stop the IPL because it is damaging the sport and forcing players to change their loyalties,’ he said.
**
Miandad is such a drama queen... how is this an insult to the nation? I believe his shenanigans where he uses the PCB as his ghar ki baandi are the real insult. today he's in, tomorrow he's out. the day after he's back in... and then he's out again. that frankly is far more insulting to Pak cricket than this IPL sham.
I don't get the outrage to be honest. it's their domestic tournament. and they chose not to pick our players which was preplanned. so, that was definitely unprofessional and reflects poorly on IPL and BCCI since they invited our players to participate. the players also have a right to be upset since they missed out on cash. but why are Miandad, Ayaz Amir, other people so upset? don't we have better things to get upset about? I don't remember this kind of outrage when India was talking about strategic strikes inside Pakistan. but IPL's got everybody up in arms.
kamaal priorities hain hamaari qaum ki...
So much for having national pride. Do these cricketers have any sharam or ghairat?
Indian Money Talks - Shahid Afridi and Tanveer willing to ‘forgive’ and ‘forget’ for ‘Aman Ki Asha’…more like ‘Paisey Ki Asha’!
LAHORE: Money talks, and in cricket Indian money talks a language that is the first preference of all international cricketers and administrators. Barely a week after all-rounder Shahid Afridi said that the Indian Premier League (IPL) and India had made fun of Pakistan players and the country by not bidding for them at the auction, the Pakistan Twenty20 captain says that he is willing to forgive and forget and he has gotten over the anger and hurt he felt at being ‘snubbed’. His team-mate Sohail Tanvir has joined him, saying ‘I have nothing personal against India and if any opportunity arises in future where I am invited to play in the IPL or Champions League I will definitely go to play if my seniors do the same.’
This is the same Tanvir who – in an interview to a Pakistani news channel – had said that the Hindus had shown their true colours. It is the same Tanvir who claimed in the afore-said interview that Pakistan players never wanted to play in the IPL, but the IPL came begging for them to take part. “After the IPL auction I was deeply hurt and angry, the way Pakistan players were treated was disrespectful and in my view wrong. Whose fault it was. I don’t know. In times like these as a Muslim the examples of our Prophet has guided me and I’m therefore willing to forgive and forget what has happened and look forward,” he told a website Pakpasion.net.
And in a remarkably statesman like pronouncement, he said: “When you think about it Pakistan and India share much more things in common than there are differences, we need to build our relations rather than break them. Sports should be used to build peace between our great nations, not break them. Although Pakistan and India have borders, these borders cannot divide humanity.” Whether these reconciliatory statements spring from Afridi’s generosity of spirit – which he has seldom displayed on a cricket field – or the potential generosity of the IPL franchise owners’ purses, will be up for debate.
Afridi also made it clear that since South Australia had qualified for the Champions League Twenty20, he would be available to play for the Australian state side in the event in India this year. Not to be outdone, Tanvir said that he always had a good experience playing in India. “Look, when I went to India with the Pakistan team in 2007 and after that for the IPL’s inaugural season I was warmly welcomed and treated well by the Indian people. It came as a rude shock to us and it was very sad but like I said if our board and senior players say we should go I will also go to play in India. I will do whatever my seniors tell me to do or go by the guidelines provided by the Pakistan Cricket Board.”
Re: IPL auction: Pakistani players ignored
but what i saw on Geo News is different.. according to Geo.. Afridi said that after that humiliating behaviour from IPL.. he wont even think about playing there..
