No Pakistani players in IPL 2010

No Pakistani palyers will be playing in IPL 2010. Though there were Pakistan players available in auction, no players were selected to play in IPL 2010.

One of the coaching staffs of Rajasthan Royals has said that Umar Akmal was in no.1 wish list for their team but suddenly the decision changed. Even Shahrukh Khan and P Chidumburam(India's home minister) have criticized this. Pak players certainly will feel a sense of insult.

Some reasons for not including the players given by IPL and the franchises are foolish. Modi and Shilpa Shetty said that not only Pakistani players were left but many Aussies too. Pakistani players are available for the whole season while Aussies will be there for only half of the tournament and many Aussies are already in different IPL teams. There will be reauction in 2011. Due to this, Aussies were not included.

This is of course an insult of the Pakistani players who have won the ICC World Twenty20 - the world cup of T20 cricket. Pakistan are of course the no.1 team in T20 cricket ranking as their win percent is more than 80%. Players like Shahid Afridi, Umar Gul, Umar Akmal are among the best players in T20 cricket.

Way before the auction, The IPL commissioner, Lalit Modi has said that no players from Pakistan will feature in IPL 2010 as their boards have failed to obtain VISAs for them in given deadline. Cricinfo's article notes that the franchises will now have to look for the replacement of Pakistani players for IPL 2010.After Pak players got all requirements, they were included in the auction.


11 Pak players were in the auction list among whom none were signed. Isn't this wrong. Cricket should stuff to bring Pakistanis and Indians closer. Such act by IPL has helped to raise the conflict between Pakistan and India. Please leave your comment.

  2. Pakastani players didn't play next season as well. They were well in the team and were present in the inaugural function as well. But due to perceived tension the pakistan government didn't allow them to play.
    It was an obvious decision to not take the players and no body can be sure if they would play or not. Instead of waisting a spot, its always good to give chance to emerging players and promote them.

  3. Points of common sense:
    1) How can a "commercial event" ignore the best and garland the mediocre?
    2) Was all the hastle for applications and visas was a drama if they knew that the availability was unsure, why they were asked to be prepared? Isn't it an Added insult to injury?
    3) They were not taken last year, and there was no fuss as this one? Why was that?
    Shahid afridi could have been got for just $50000..but? Now who is the real loser? I believe somebody crooked or 'over intelligent', at the IPL caused this anxiety and deprived the Indian people to see the best in action!
    It's like Wembildon without Federer and Nedal! Sad!

  4. Pakistan has good players no boubt about it.
    No one should force the host to invite guest no matter how good guest you are.
    Pakistan players were not issued visa during the sports in Sctotland last year and none of the politician made any issue.
    This time they are talking about relations,bans etc.WHY?
    To play and enjoy is the fundamental right not to demand an invitation.
    Create PPL like IPL and entertain youeself rather then crying.

  5. If you didn't want to invite then you should have straightaway not listed them in the auction. First, you list 11 players for the auction and then none are selected. Its not from a loosing side but the world champions in T20 cricket. Its of course a conspiracy. Its an insult of the champions.
