Confusion around not picking Pakistani players by IPL franchises


Let us be clear on few fronts before we start abusing each other and adding to the existing confusion.
a) IPL franchises are private enterprises. These teams pick and choose players for their benefit.
b) If a Pakistani player is picked, but is not allowed to play for that franchise as per his contract for multitude of reasons like
a) Pakistan not allowing players to go to India to play
b) Indian government not giving visas for Pakistan players
c) Security threats to Pakistani players (because Shive Sena in Mumbai constantly issues threats)

then these IPL franchises will loose money. No body on earth will like to loose money.

If the current episode shouldn’t repeat in future then this IPL business needs to be streamlined.  Indian government should guarantee the security of all players and these modlities can be worked out.  All the governments from where these players are coming to play as part of IPL, should allow their cricketers to leave the country with any ban or restrictions.
ICC should also be consulted, so that IPL games and international match dates don’t coincide causing problems for the IPL players.

If Shahrukh khan says that Pakistani players should have been picked, then he should also answer as to why his franchise didn’t pick the Pakistani players?
Thanks
