bowl_out Posted February 25 Posted February 25 The "intention" of the franchise owners can never be proved. They can simply claim that they found better quality players elsewhere. Also, what action can Moeen threaten a franchise with? What is his power/capacity to do anything? Sgattick10 and Lord 1 1
rkt.india Posted February 25 Posted February 25 (edited) How many Pakistani players played hundred before IPL owners entered? This question should be asked from them. Edited February 25 by rkt.india
lemsip Posted February 25 Posted February 25 What next ? Will they demand companies based in UK start offering jobs to Pakistani citizens because otherwise it will be discriminatory ? cricspirit 1

BacktoCricaddict Posted February 25 Posted February 25 As an Englishman, will he also do the same if they were discriminating against Nepali players? Why Pakistani players only?
figo6762 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I don’t think labor laws in places outside India will support this .. discriminating against national origin or nationality is probably against some law there .. in India it’s easy to quote national security threat.. what national security threat can they quote there ? IPL is an extension of the BCCi extension of the BJP (ruling party) . So yeah this won’t fly outside India .

Assuming labor laws are even applicable to these freelance gigs, proving discrimination in auction strategy is impossible. Owners can say they think Pakistanis are not good enough in English conditions. What then? It's not as if Pakistan is the best T20 team anyway. ECB would be stupid to legally pursue this. That will only push Indian money away from that failing tournament. The best ECB can do is lip service about inclusivity. Edited February 25 by BCCISelector lemsip 1
goose Posted February 25 Posted February 25 meanwhile, the big bash league first fixture is happening in chennai! all the boards decided long ago what time it is !

No one is obliged to pick players from any country (except home country). How many Italians are there in the Hundred?

IPL is an extension of the BCCi extension of the BJP (ruling party) . So yeah this won’t fly outside India . This has nothing to do with UK labour laws which are not applicable. Most of the people they are talking about are not UK citizens or resident here. Pakistani citzens do not have a right to work in the UK. This is a sporting auction in which no one from any country has an automatic right to be picked. An auction is discrimnatory by its very nature. In addition the actual auction is on March 12 and people are already moaning about something that is yet to happen.
lemsip Posted February 26 Posted February 26 20 hours ago, Lord said: How will it be proven? No one is obliged to pick players from any country (except home country). How many Italians are there in the Hundred? Correct and most of the people as Pakistani citizens have no right to work in the UK anyway. Lord 1
Tattieboy Posted February 26 Posted February 26 The ECB and The Hundred already discriminate against Irish players men and women who have the right to work in the UK under an reciprocal agreement by classifying them as overseas players in the county championships and the hundred . ICC and ECB rules do not override the Laws of England and Wales . As yet no Irish player has taken the ECB to court probably due to the expense .
IndianRenegade Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Let’s start with suing EPL for not choosing any Russian players. Soorma Bhopali 1

It doesn't mean a private employer ( which is what counties are) is under any obligation to offer them a contract by virtue of their nationality. Counties regularly employ foreign nationals including Indians and Pakistanis. Once offered a contract they then have to apply for work permits which is where the compliance to UK laws is checked. Actually an Irish player Eoin Morgan captained England to a world cup win in 2019 ! Edited February 26 by lemsip Soorma Bhopali 1
Texy Posted February 26 Posted February 26 saar we dont need India money we buycott IPL in solidarity with our bangla brothers Also, we sue if Pak players are banned from indian owned teams
tapandrun Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) Ecb has started looking into this, may be ecb has sent out a formal communications to all the teams regarding this matter. but on labour law, is that not applicable to eng/uk players/citizen only. if 2 countries does not have agreement where workforce can/is eligible to work in both countries then only such law applies , these things comes under mutual treaty ? Edited February 26 by tapandrun
Zero_Unit Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Let's say no discrimination was there, realistically which pak player would they have their eyes on? I can name multiple other players who can do a similar job or a better job. Babar/Rizwan has proven that even their most profilic players are not worth picking
