Pakistan hurts itself after snubbed in IPL

Shahid Afridi feels IPL has hurt his country and his team by ignoring him and other players. Actually he is hurt and he is trying to paint it green by saying huge words like hurting his country and all.

Who would risk a Pakistani player this point of time who lack team spirits, basic skills and are prone to brain freezes. That was evident in the last 8 tests they have played.

Besides their government is not too enthusiastic to send them across the border to play. Actually the relations between the Indian and Pakistan countries is not too good after 11/26, so Pakistani cricketers are looked upon with suspicion and are not very welcome here.

Besides there is no guarantee that the Pak players would be available for entire tournament. Shilpa Shetty, the irritable and yawning owner (co) of RR sums it up.

Besides IPL has its own commerce. So nobody would bet on a losing side. The snub seems fair to this blogger and this blogger feels that lest Pakistani players work on their attitude and team spirits, they would be continued to be ignored.

And Afridi is not doing any good by issuing temparamental statements like this.  Not to forget his verbal spat with VVS and then a MB with Gautam Gambhir. The tempers might get flared in the stadiums should Afridi and his men do another kind of such behavior.

Thanks to Ajmal Kasab, the geopolitics and the scenario of cricket between the 2 countries have changed.
