The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has ruled out the participation of its players in IPL 2010 and has revoked the no-objection certificates (NOCs) granted to its players.
“No Pakistani player will go to the IPL this time,” Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, told Cricinfo. “Why should we allow them to go? They didn’t pick any of the players and it was an insult to us. Why should we let one or two players go? We will not take this lying down.”
Butt’s statement seems to have shut the door on the issue, though a PCB release issued minutes earlier held out some hope.
“All NOCs issued to Pakistani players for their participation in IPL 3 stand revoked,” the PCB statement said. “In the future if any player receives an invitation for participation in IPL events, PCB will decide the matter on a case-to-case basis after consulting the relevant government authorities.”
The decision came after Pakistani players were ignored at the player auction for the third edition held in Mumbai. Of the 11 players in the IPL’s final auction list of 66, none were bought by any franchise.
That sparked outrage in Pakistan and led to statements on both sides - including one from India’s home minister - regretting the blackout of Pakistani players at the auction. There has also been a warning issued by a regional party in Mumbai warning against Pakistanis being hired by the franchises, but recent reports indicated that Pakistani players could play a role in the next IPL season.
One player, allrounder Abdul Razzaq, has also been linked to two franchises though officials of both franchises deny any specific deal has been concluded.
The participation of Pakistani players in the third IPL season has been a subject of much controversy for the past three months, with some element of confusion over rules and eligibility. It was thought, when their names were included on the auction shortlist earlier this month, that the issue had been resolved but events at the January 19 auction suggest they are taking a new turn.

Re: PCB shuts door on Pakistanis in IPL
I dont know if this decision is right or wrong or done at the wrong moment. I was willing to see Pakistani players denying the offers instead of PCB themselves shunning the doors to them. Now the IPL franchises can say that they were willing to offer Pakistani players, but it was PCB who is not allowing now.
They can say all they want we already saw that they ‘really’ wanted

IPL franchises, their bollywood owners and Mr Modi has already said what they wanted to say.

:k:
i would rather they didnt announce this publicly though. this would mean that the market would know that they’re not open to IPL offers, and therefore they’ll get offered less money for the contracts they do get.
Re: PCB shuts door on Pakistanis in IPL
nice decision though they should offer more attractive offers to cricketers to fill the gap of IPL, if any of them were desperate about it.
This desperate act by PCB was to save some face as the players had almost done a u-turn to join IPL … Afridi had even started quoting Quran 
Re: PCB shuts door on Pakistanis in IPL
Well done PCB!
No Pak player should ever be allowed to play in india
Dude, Pakistanis should be banned from playing in IPL till Pak stops supporting terrorism in India !!
As your government so is the public. Although what Indians say and what they do.. it is a lot controversial.
Now please dont say that why our foreign secretary and other officials made hard decision and comments about IPL ( indirectly Indian Government decision).
Why do you involve politics in sports? Only because you are afraid of loosing? :D and feeling ashamed as you already lost against U19 Pakistan? :D
