The Sri Lankan captain, who is one of the biggest buys and is likely to be an automatic choice among the four overseas players, will have to sit out as the Tamil Nadu government over the last two seasons had banned all Sri Lankan sportspersons from competing in events in the state.

Racism at it's best.

The bold part makes no mention of any race, just nationality. Hence, by definition not racism. We in the past haven't allowed Pak players in IPL, also not racism.

Besides, people still care about IPL.

Till people in TN hear the news that srilankan tamil population have got equal political rights like sinhalese population, i dont see a chance for normal relations...

What exactly do you mean by equal political rights?

If it is not racism, what is it apartheid?

Regional politics.

Regional politics cannot meddle with national politics and foreign relations.

Regional as in South-Asian region. India did not bar them, TN did.

Shift matches from TN.

Hardly worth upsetting Amma over when her support is needed in RS.

SL players, if they feel offended are free to boycott IPL. If money trumps pride, they'll do as they are told.
