All International cricket players and cricket board should ban Indian Premier League (IPL). It is a shameful decision of not including the Pakistani players through shameful act of pressurizing the team management to not bid for the T20 specialists Pakistani players. The politics should be away from cricket as cricket is game for peace and love.

This is a time for international players association to act and save the prestige of cricketers and pride of the game. It is really shameful when the cricket fans are being stopped to watch the great display from the current great T20 players. The cricketers have country stamp but not the cricket. It should be carry on without prejudice.

Today it is happening to Pakistan and in future it can happen to other players too. Indian cricket board has members whose thinking is based on racism and hatred while sports does not allow such act because sports present not the nations only rather humanity too.

Recently there were some people in India who were trying to threat Australian players to stop them of taking part in IPL. Instead of banning and threatening the cricketers the cricket should be free of any negative acts. The board of Indian cricket should think again to re auction the players and give a relief to cricket fans.

On the other hand the association of cricketers should take necessary steps to avoid such happening in future to make sure cricket available for all.

 The Pakistan cricket Board on Tuesday said it would consider helping out suspended pacer if he approaches them for help in his doping case with the Indian Premier League. Nadeem Akram PCB Director Human resources denied that the Board had distanced itself from Asif after he tested positive for a banned substance in the IPL until now neither he nor his lawyer Shahid Karim have approached us for any assistance in securing visas for Switzerland or otherwise.

 If they do request us for assistance we will consider helping him Akram said he insisted that the Board had not deserted Asif after his Dubai detention or the positive test in the IPL. He is one of our valued players but since we have no jurisdiction in the IPL and they are communicating directly with him and his lawyer he was advised to handle things himself and fight his case but if he requires assistance and advise we have never said no to him. The PCB has provided him all help as allowed under our rules and regulations. We have not ignored him but eventually IPL has its own anti-doping regulations and committee and he has to fight his case himself he said. PCB Chief Operating Officer Shafqat Naghmi had earlier said that Asif will have to fight his case on his own. Akram is one of the members of the three member fact finding committee formed by the Board and which has completed its probe into Asif`s 19 days detention in Dubai in June when he was detained by airport authorities while returning from India for allegedly carrying a banned substance. Akram declined to reveal details of what recommendations the committee had made in its report to the Board Chairman but said a final decision would be announced when Nasim Ashraf will return from abroad on August 12 or 13. Meanwhile IPL officials today told Asifs lawyer that they were considering their request to postpone the date for the B sample test in Geneva at the World Anti Doping Agency accredited laboratory.

Asif and Karim want to travel to Geneva for the test but were on Monday told by the Swiss embassy officials they need to submit fresh travel dates and the IPL had earlier changed the date for the B sample test from July 28 to August 6 but Karim has said that due to the visa formalities they need time until mid August to be present in Geneva. IPL officials have conveyed to us they are considering our request.

BCCI open bids for 8 teams in Indian premier league. The film star Shah Rukh Khan  successfully bid for kolkata team. His company comprises of him, Johi Chawla and Jai Mahta group. Shah Rukh Khan group won the bid at 75.01 million dollars.

Now Shah Rukh Khan is the boss of Kolkata team. He can select the players along with other financial handling. Peoples will definitely show great interest in his team. The team can hire foreign players too. The foreign players are restricted to 8 per team only.

I wonder why Shah Rukh is taking interest in cricket. I think he can derivate many advantages as compare to others. Since he is directing the movies also so he can promote his movies through cricket. Beside the benefits the cricket will get extra glamour through filmstars.

The Indian premier league will be played on T20 format. I hope the cricket lovers will enjoy the league in comming days.
