India Pakistan League (IPL)

Recently Shahid Afridi called out BCCI for including Pakistani players back in cash rich IPL. According to him, they would have no problems playing in India as they easily played in the World Cup. And this will also result in good relationship between Pakistan and India. After the Mumbai attacks, every franchise considered Pakistan players untouchables and avoided taking them. In 2008, he was the costliest Pakistani player to be picked in IPL at $675,000 by Deccan Chargers.
Also Sohail Tanvir was the most successful bowler in the first season of IPL. In the third season, Pakistani players name were there, but no player was picked. This was the time when Pakistan won the T20 World Cup. Franchise said they avoided Pakistani players because they were doubtful of their availability and don't want to risk their money on them.
Do you suspect any politics involved in this. In the previous two seasons, security concerns related to Mumbai terror attacks were shown to avoid Pakistani players.
I think, IPL is a great medium where players can play their natural games, without the hype surrounding some classics matches like India-Pakistan and Australia-England. Its a fast paced game. I think they should be allowed to play in IPL. What do you think. Do you think Indian Government is pressurizing franchisees not to pick Pakistani players. Should they be allowed to play in IPL.
