"It's a blessing in disguise that the Pakistani cricketers were not selected in the IPL considering the pathetic performance by the national team during its recent matches in Australia," the judge said. In his petition, petitioner Husain had requested the court to ban the exhibition of Indian films till the government seeks a public apology for the humiliation of Pakistani cricketers. He said Pakistan was the world champion in Twenty20 format of the game but none of its 11 players in the auction was picked by any IPL franchise as the owners of the teams intentionally refrained from bidding for them. Husain claimed this act caused great humiliation to the players and to Pakistan. The perceived snub had triggered protests by civil society groups and political parties across the country. The Pakistan government had cancelled an election Commission delegation's visit to India and the Kabaddi Federation had also called off its team's scheduled tour of India to protest the snub.
