DomainK Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Do the players have to be present at the auction? If so then how would Kamran, Misbah and Gul be able to go as they would be in Australia at the time on Jan 19, which is auction time. We can serve the food on a platter for them, but they have to do the eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSK Fan Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 :wall: :wall: :wall: Players should better not get injured! I don't mind them playing as it will earn them good money, but hectic schedule and hundreds of IPL games only end up breaking you down. Come on BCCI plz ban our players! Do you know some of the discontentment from seeing players from Kenya and Bangladesh earn 10 times more than them might also be behind the recent player discontent and revolts in your team? there is only so long a player can play on patriotism. Our players earn millions through endorsements and dont need IPL but if any country and player needs IPL its Pak for sure. Apart from a couple of players many dont even have a single sponsor This is why I am surprised when Pak fans think its a good thing for their players to miss IPL. IPL makes way for so many future earning opportunites. Champion league is one example. In about 10 years from now 70% of cricket might only be played in leagues. Where would Pak players be then if they have a late or no start? You somehow expect your players to be saints and play only to represent their country while other lesser players earn in fistfulls? Which is not the reality. Look at Yousuf and his ICL ventures. Look at Afridi's statements. They clearly want a part of the pie. the more its denied them, the more resentment it will brook and will have a long term impact on Pak cricket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now obviously they won't admit it, because its the INDIAN Premier League, and ofcourse they don't want to be seen in a position which shows them at the mercy of Lalit Modi, Indian Government. Well all except Ijaz Butt because he has no choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block hole Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 IPL door ajar for Pakistan players, but just The IPL opened its doors a little to players from Pakistan once again, though ironically it was made more difficult for the four players with existing - albeit suspended - contracts to take part in the next edition of the lucrative league. Non-contracted Pakistani players, however, can enter this season's auction, a step forward from last season Kamran Akmal, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul and Misbah-ul-Haq, the gang of four who already had existing contracts with franchises, had their visas cleared earlier today by the Indian ministry of external affairs, briefly raising hopes that they may be allowed in after all. But because they missed the December 7 deadline to do so, their contracts remain suspended, according to Lalit Modi, chairman IPL. It wasn't, however, a total reinforcement of the league's earlier decision which ruled them out totally; they can, in the right circumstances, still appear. "The current players will be kept in suspension as they have not fulfilled their obligations," Modi told Cricinfo. "The current suspended players cannot go to the auction. But they will be available to the franchisee for replacement if they have a spot. So their price does not change and others cannot bid for them as it will be a disadvantage for the existing owners." Essentially this means that Tanvir, for example, can play for Rajasthan Royals only if they decide to free up a spot in their squad by getting rid of another foreign player. This will not be straightforward as the franchises involved - Rajasthan Royals (Tanvir and Akmal), Kolkata Knight Riders (Gul) and Bangalore Royal Challengers (Misbah) - have already replaced their Pakistani players after the contracts were first suspended. This will come as a disappointment not only to the players but to chairman Ijaz Butt and the PCB. Butt has fought hard to get his players back into the IPL after they were prevented by their own government from playing in the second season, a fallout of a deterioration in political ties between India and Pakistan after the Mumbai attacks of 2008. He met Modi in October to begin finding a way back for the players. After confirming that visas had been granted earlier today, Butt intended to speak to Modi to try and get the four back in, despite missing the deadline, which had already been extended twice. Some gains seem to have been made, however, as other non-contracted Pakistani players can enter this season's auction. "Others who are not with any franchisee can be in the auction. They need to apply by December 31. Once we get their request we will then put them on the list and fix a price," Modi said, before adding that "all contracts expire after this season and we will then go through new process again." In an ideal world, Pakistani players such as Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Aamer would be attractive purchases in any auction, given that they won the World Twenty20 earlier this year and are generally considered the leading nation in the format. But franchises may find the red tape and paperwork to get through in getting players over too much. On a day of swift developments, Modi also addressed a press conference after news of the visa clearances came through, but full clarity is yet to be reached; who, for example, will initiate contact between franchises and Pakistan players for the auction; and what paperwork will be required for new Pakistani players to appear in the next IPL.

Pioneer Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 its not a buying cows in a mela okay... the franchise owners dont need to check the teeth and the health of the players. dont panic. Yeah...whatever you said, a " no they do not need to be present" would have been sufficient. I would rather they concentrate on their task in Australia then worry about an auction.
