The reason has been obliquely hinted, that nobody wants to have a Pakistani in the team , taking into consideration the situation prevailing over there.No cricketing reason whatsoever.
No doubt Pakistani players are exciting to watch.Then you can nor be sure whether they will take part in the competition as and when demanded by the franchisees for their country is in such a shape that their President does not know who is running the country or what will happen to Pakistan or himself.Under the circumstances, it is prudent on the part of the franchisees not to have bought any of them, for we are talking of investments and returns , not charity.
Added to this is the PCB’s propensity of recalling players, players in match fixing scandals, dope scandal.
Even if it were to be because of souring relations between the two countries,what is wrong in India treating these players as persona non grata?Let Pakistan understand their chaotic and region and world destroying policies have a price.
Story:
Pakistan are the current T20 world champions. Shahid Afridi, Umar Gul, Mohammed Aamer, Saeed Ajmal and company played some enthralling cricket to claim the trophy last year. Since then, Pakistan have seen another exciting batsman emerge on the horizon: Umar Akmal. Therefore, it defies logic that nobody wanted to buy the 11 Pakistani players in the IPL 3 auction on Tuesday.
