Indian hypocrisy: India started the Kashmir Premier League 10 years before Pakistan

[Itachi]

How are you drawing this conclusion anyway? This whole issue is about the league being played in AJK. I can't imagine any player giving it a thought if the league isn't being played in Kashmir.

Because otherwise GOI and BCCI would've contacted PCB and Pakistan government to raise objection for a league in pok.

No, I am talking about players having to consult BCCI each time they sign up for a league. I am not sure how you are reaching that conclusion, if the league in question isn't being played in Kashmir.

If someone working in the same sector working as mine gets noticed for some action from some entity, then I'll be careful while doing the same action since result may be the same.

Who will want to brought it upon themselves unless I am getting compensated equally or more for the noticed may be given.

Its common human psych.

And it's the brand name along with the political message that's the issue on another aspect.

AFAIK only Panesar has backed out. Besides, BCCI might have won a small battle but lost the war, given the publicity this league got, and the fact that at least some retired cricketers are participating.

Check the news reports. Only Gibbs and Dilshan have agreed to play. Rest all have withdrawn.

Link the news reports. AFAIK some players haven't said anything. In any case, my point about winning a small battle but losing the war still applies.

As long as the tournament is successful I don't really care what international player takes part or not. I am sure Pak would have realised this before organising it.

According to KPL media manager Saqib Abbasi, four players from England and one each from South Africa and Sri Lanka have refused to play in the KPL after being pressured by the BCCI. Pakistan's government also reacted strongly against the BCCI for politicizing cricket.

Players haven't said anything to whom?

The aim was to keep most of the cricketing world away from KPL. Thats a success.

Give a non Indian source. Not finding this in any non Indian media source. You are still not getting it though. Or at least pretending. Almost no one in Pakistan knew about this league, let alone the rest of the world. It will likely make far more money now then it will otherwise. What happens in the future remains to be seen. Most likely this league would have gone on for 1 or maybe 2 seasons and be done, given almost no one knew about it.
