Pak_Fan Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 PCB allows Tanvir to play for Rajasthan Royals KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board has given a green signal to all-rounder Sohail Tanvir to play for his Indian Premier League franchise Rajasthan Royals in a charity match against Middlesex at Lord's on July 6. The sports management company which represents Tanvir said in a statement that Tanvir would represent the Rajasthan Royals in the match being played for the British Asian Trust. Tanvir was the best bowler of the IPL in the first season and played a key role in his team's title win. However, he could not play the second edition after the Pakistan foreign ministry advised the PCB not to send its players to India due to security concerns arising out of the tense relations between the two countries after the Mumbai terror attacks last November. The IPL was later moved to South Africa but by that time the IPL franchises had either terminated or suspended the contracts of the Pakistani players due to their unavailability for the second season. Portfolio world, the sports management company also quoted Shilpa Shetty the co-owner of the Rajasthan Royals as saying that she was excited to have Tanvir back in the team. "He was truly missed in the IPL second season," Shetty was quoted in the statement. Tanvir, the left arm pacer, struggled in the recent T20 World Cup in England and was dropped from the playing eleven. SOURCE = http://ipl.timesofindia.indiatimes.c...ow/4732005.cms Link to comment

rainy day Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 ^^ S.Tanvir is a good bowler when the bowl is swinging in the air and that's about it. He's useless at any other time. Link to comment

Well ofcourse for us it did, i mean if their are no Indian players in a cricket league will you be as excited as you are for IPL ? I still watched it ( 70% of the matches ) but i know a lot of the "mild" cricket fans in Pakistan who skipped it. Link to comment

Pakistan doesnt have that much power to business related nor it is developed country like ENG AUS Leave Pakistani fans alone. it is not effecting a lot to IPL and by the way It is domestic tournament of india. But dont worry it all about business, until we have SRK kind of people, you guys are always wel come Link to comment
rainy day Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 ^^ It probably doesn't, i never said IPL will be adversely affected if Pakistani players don't play. But i think to a couple of sponsors Pakistani players do matter like Nokia for KKR as Nokia has a big presence in Pakistan as well. Link to comment
