Why is such a big issue that none of the franchise's selected any of the Pakistani players? Why did the government even encourage them to come for the auction and now they have washed their hands over it as usual.
I don’t know why we try to please everyone and their cooks all the time. Our government makes strongly worded statements that we will have no ties with Pakistan and will not give up till they surrender their eminent citizens like Dawood , the master mind of 26/11 etc to us. And in the meantime we invite their cricket players to be auctioned off to the highest bidder!
Now it’s become a diplomatic issue with Pakistan shouting from every available roof top about this injustice. One thing I admire about that country is they have the balls to do all this even when the entire world treats them with suspicion.
I hope our govt won’t bend down and insist that these players be taken in at exorbitant amounts just to diffuse the issue. I won’t be surprised if they do since we are nothing but a NATO nation- No Action Talk Only!!
