In my earlier post I said Pakistan cricketers were not discriminated at IPL auction. I still maintain the same belief they were not bid (though I do not like bidding for human beings, it reminds me of 'slaves trade') by any IPL team owner for the security reason. Last year, for the Government of India did not promised to provide security for the reason of National elections at the same time and the game had to be shifted to South Africa. This year the IPL owners were determined to have the games in India so they needed to get security and assurance.
When some, can be counted on fingertips, leaders are threating not to let the Pakistan players to participate in any game in India it becomes a responsibility to have them in the team. That is all right and any commercial decision will be impacted in such security scenario. They took easy route not to bid for them escape all the bureaucratic hurdles later on. But, they cannot deny the fact that they invited the players for bid. So, when they collectively, as a unanimous decision or by chance, did not bid for any of them they are supposed to send a sincere apology letter to the players and the Pakistan Cricket Board explaining their position rather than saying they owe no explanation to anyone. It is not about commercial interest but respecting fellow men who happen to be in the same sports where they are trading.
It is disgusting and shameful act not to accept the change in the situation and their inability to include Pakistan cricketers who are out performing individuals. These owners do not even consider that their behavior hurts the sentiments of the people of two countries who love to hate each other.

I think we should not mix business with sentiments. We need to understand IPL just a money making shop with very little to offer to both players and viewer's sentiments.
The Organizers are only thinking through the business needs thats it.
Now the question comes the degree of politeness they (IPL organizer) could have shown to Pak players. On doing so with a possible reason would have attracted diplomatic issues and Organizers didn't want to be the sole initiator of the debate itself.
On Second thoughts,this could be popularity gain stunt from the orgnizer and may be in due course of time you might find PAK player's in with a good reason of fighting discrimination by the organizer's themselves :)
In conclusion don't be the part of flowing sentiments and hope something good happens to troubled PAK system and if not now then in next IPL I would like to see PAK talent pouring in with hair raising performances . AMEN!!!!!!!!!
