Pakistan foreign ministry has no objection to send the country's cricketers to India to play in the Indian Premier League next year. More...
Luckily its limited to only 5 players, and these 5 will most likely be bought for piss pittance, and will serve well as *****es benches.

Pakistan players cleared for IPL Pakistan's players have been cleared to participate in the 2010 season of the IPL after receiving the final government clearance they needed, from their country's interior ministry. Earlier on Wednesday, Pakistan's foreign ministry cleared the players' involvement in the Indian league and the interior ministry's clearance means the PCB can now issue the no-objection certificates (NOCS) that would allow them to play in the tournament. "The sports and foreign ministries had already given their clearance ... we were awaiting security clearance from the interior ministry, which we have got now," PCB media manager Nadeem Sarwar told Reuters. "We have been told we can issue NOCs to the players now." The deadline for the submission of the NOCs to the IPL was extended to December 9. Eleven Pakistani players - including Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul, the stars of Pakistan's 2009 World Twenty20 campaign - were recruited by the Kolkata, Rajasthan, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore franchises before the inaugural IPL. However, Pakistan's players were absent from the second IPL, held earlier this year in South Africa, after their government did not allow them to travel to India - where the tournament was originally to be held - for security reasons. The franchises then opted to retain the contracts of only four of them - Kamran Akmal and Sohail Tanvir (Rajasthan), Misbah-ul-Haq (Bangalore) and Gul (Kolkata) . Most franchises will, however, seek their return in the league's 2010 edition after Pakistan's success in the ICC World Twenty20 in June. The third season of the IPL will be held in India and it begins on March 12, 2010.

No Paks for IPL 3 Pakistani players will not play in the Indian Premier League III as their board has failed to obtain their visas before the deadline "We have been informed by PCB that they have not been able to obtain the visas as of now. So we are not being able to extend the deadline. Today is the absolute deadline for confirmation of Pakistani players (to take part in IPL). The exchange window is day after tomorrow," Modi said. "Unfortunately, the Pakistani players are out and they will not be allowed to take part in the next IPL because we are handicapped by the fact that the exchange window is day after tomorrow. We are informing the teams that they now can go for the replacement of the Pakistani players," he said. :yay::haha::yay: Linky

NEW DELHI: Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi, on Monday, said that Pakistani players will not be able to take part in IPL 3 as they failed to get clearance from PCB and obtain visas to play in India in March-April next year. "No Pak player will take part in IPL 3 as they failed to get clearance from PCB", Lalit Modi said. Earlier, Pakistan federal interior ministry gave security clearance to the national cricketers to participate in the third edition of the Indian Premier League. "The foreign ministry had already given political clearance for the players to take part in the IPL and now the interior ministry has also given its security clearance," a PCB official had said. He said the government had told the PCB it could now issue relevant NOC's to players wishing to take part in the IPL and who get valid contracts from the IPL teams. The government had stopped Pakistani players from taking part in the second season of the IPL this year on security grounds and because of the tense political relations between Pakistan and India after the Mumbai terror attacks.
