Need to keep in Mind the players who play for IPL purely play for Money and themselves and not for country.

This is only a bubble dude. It won't take long to burst. A tournament that is more famous for its money and cheerleaders rather than the sport being played doesn't take long to become bankrupt.
hmmmm interesting thought AMAAN KII MAA KII for sure now buddy....this is the problem i think IPL should be taken away from india it is an international event it should be hosted in a new place every year!
frankly i never watched IPL with any interest! why would i care if kolkata wins or hyderabad wins! what do i get from it! so yes keep your razmataz to yourself & keep your non racist theory to yourself! when its clear that just cuz its an indian event we are discriminated against!
Another Slap On The Face For Aman Ki Asha Apologists
The great Aman Ki Asha inspired love affair between Pakistan and India has just been hit by a bus and chances are that it wont survive. This came as all of the 11 Pakistani cricketers, most of them from the T20 Worldcup winning side last year were kept out of the third edition of the Indian Premiere League including all-rounder Shahid Afridi who was the highest rated player expected to be the most expensive. This is truly astonishing given that Pakistan is the reigning World Twenty20 champion, and their exclusion devalues the entire competition. What a huge loss for cricket and what utter disappointment for millions of fans. Given that the World Champions are not to be seen in action, it is only logical to say that this makes the IPL anything but World Class.
Despite the great love story being sold to the people of Pakistan and India by their respective media, there is still not enough love in the world that can hide the hypocrisy and two-facedness that has always characterized Indias dealing with her neighbour. This is just the icing on the cake. It is also very interesting to note that despite the violent attacks on Indian nationals on Australian soil, and the threats issued by the militant Hindu extremist outfit Shiv Sena against Australians playing in India, the Indians were more than happy to have a love-in with the Aussies at IPL. One cannot help but think that this says a lot for the Indian national pride and sense of solidarity with their counterparts being humiliated and abused by the Australians.
Given the threats being issues by Hindu fanatics against foreign players visiting India, it is perhaps a really good thing that Pakistani players are not going to be put in a position where their lives might be at risk from extremist elements and religious fanatics. While the great Bollywood soap opera called Aman ki Asha meets an unhappy yet very predictable ending, Pakistanis must now realize that the only goodwill gestures they will ever receive from across the border is covert terrorism on its land, caskets of Pakistani prisoners tortured to death in Indian jails for overstaying visas, and poorly disguised threats of war.
ipl is another indian joke, no pakistani should play in the joke league. its a disgrace on their honour. they should instead only focus on winning the aussie one day and up coming t20 world cup

What is big about IPL? is it just because it was created by BCCI ? Its purely commercial who will pay for unavailability of players due to tensions between neighbors ?
Whatever the reason might be, I am glad they were not selected. It's sad it had to be this way, but one good thing is that it should work as wake up call for the players.

Teams are owned by realllly Big corporate houses. Maybe they are spending 0.0001% on IPL. They wont become bankrupt even if no one turns up to watch any of their matches. i hope you get my point that money is not an issue for the biggies and its business as usual for them. They will make it sure that their products are sold, and sold well.
Thats really sad
I wish you would not have said that.
why is it a joke.. ?? Because instead of PCB not allowing pakistani cricketers to participate like in 2009, this time the sponsors have refused to take any of them.
Do you know the popularity of this league?? In 2009 the viewrship generated a revenue of $2.4 billion in 35 days. Thats more than what the total export economy of pakistan generated in the same period.
and so do wish? Why are you so keen on seeing its failure? just because you could not replicate something similar back at home?
I guess after IPL1 or after India cancelled their trip to Pak on security grounds the talk by Mr Butt was to create PPL or something like that.
Cant see that , which channel they show those matches?
