Isn't Azhar Mahmood banned from certain states in India too? The same thing happened to the Pak women cricket team and they stay in a cricket ground to be safe in the recent world cup.

Anyway if you look at the history of how the Tamils were treated in Sri Lanka you can see why the Indian Tamils have reservations.

Kash, that shouldn't really come into it though should it? The history has been there for years, but it's a bit cheeky to ban all lankan players at this stage?

Sport and politics should never mix but that's not possible in India.

Seeems like similar reasons to why Sri-lanka don't tour Pakistan.. Last time they were under attack from a bunch of religious nuts..Who were determined to murder them.

A pakistani talking about bad treatment of players I've seen it all now..

Where does trying to kill them fit in on this spectrum of "bad treatment"?

And no, they aren't being treated badly, the state does not want them to play there because of the atrocities committed by SL in killing Tamils. Fliping pleb

whoelse - Sri Lanka are more than happy to travel to Pakistan when the ICC allow it

As for Indian's they always like to mix politics with sport. Some very narrow minded people in some of those states

Why would anyone want to go pakistan Even Bangladesh pulled out

Oooo Bengis pulling out after pressure from India, big loss. The country is a lot safer than India these days.

Feel sorry for all those women that have been gang r*ped recently in India.

England,
They were under attack from the nutters, who were angry that other nutters invaded certain part of their country and their neighbours for oil.
Nutters wil be nutters, whether white or Brown, in suits or shalwar kameez

Anyways, the point was that IPL won't be worth the watch

Yeah because no-one gets treated badly in India. Have you been watching the news lately?

Did I say no one gets treated badly in India? I said the reason for the state not wanting them was not that they are supposedly treated badly you silly muppet. Learn to read.

And Kash, statistically, there are more rapes in pakistan as a percentage of the population than in India.

That should be

So where exactly do you get these stats from? My suggestion for you is try find some neutral and balanced media to get your facts right.

I wouldnt even bother google this and mention here the stats, as they are so obvious for everyone.

As for the topic, Indians do have the culture of bringing politics in sports. And I feel they might get hurt from this in the long run.

@ stats. If boogie boys says its stats then they must be stats. The boogie stats

Why am i suprised you are standing up for these kind of people who attacked the sri-lakan coach with armed guns murdering 3? haha i know full well why DON'T WE? why dont you say its wrong? go on do it? you know thats the human thing to do? no excuses? what has oil got to do with it? we all know what the situation is.. So thats exactly answer.. read it and weep.

I guess it is better than shooting at them (hint few years back some country men shot at lanka players)

Don't know why we're even posting with this pathetic article from a pathetic little pleb

Don't know what englandwhoelse is on about, just every Pakistani condemns and regrets what happened to Srilankan team. And where did you find Afridi14 defending that. His fault is he has just gone a bit more in the background, but you don't want to hear that, do you? Also he points out that the topic of the thread is something else.

and voiceofcricket this is where the problem starts, not everything in the world is india vs pakistan. Not as soon as any question is raised about india you have to bring out pakistan in the argument. And if you really want to go that way then We all know what happened arecently to that swiss tourist couple.

England,

What a load of tosh. There is no justification for any human being killing any other. I couldn't give a damn what religion or background they belong to. Every Pakistani that kills deserves to get locked up keys thrown away. Any illegal invaders need to be brought to justice and tried..... Creating bull documents saying a country has weapons for example, then getting found out and saying sorry after killing literally thousands upon thousands isn't exactly justice is it.

There I've condemned and said its wrong. Lets see you do it? . If your going to make a point, at least make it valid and logical rather than spouting the daily star rubbish

Ps, my original article was based on cricinfo. But whenever there is anything slightly negative about India, the worms to go there creepy crawly

i dunno where the oil thing came into it. more propaganda. I have no time for anyone who hides behind fallacy to justify their own thinking..
India and Pakistan have problems when it comes to violence..But when Pakistan is mentioned its someone elses fault.. NOPE.. There are islamists nutcases. that target international cricketers..Just like they did with the Srilankan coach. No cricketer or cricket fan would be daft enough to visit that country.. if they valued their lives.
India maybe having same issues, But they also have issues of security.. they get attacked and bombed aswell.I wonder whos doing that to? must be over the OIL.
