IPL franchise owners openly being allowed to discriminate in non-Indian leagues?

[Kriketer]

ECBs letter means nothing. Franchise owners will simply not buy Pak cricketers saying 'on merit'. So how can one prove discrimination? And lets be honest, Pak players are no world beaters either to think otherwise.

Bottomline is, Indian owners are not permitted to buy any Pak & BD players. We all saw what happened with SRK and KKR during Mustafizur saga. So any Pak cricketer and we destroy peace in social media. Let a non Indian owner buy a team and have all Pak XI featuring in it for all we care. However, an Indian owner cannot have a Pak player. Simple.

Why bring your filth abroad then?

Only 2 of the 8 teams are majority directly owned by IPL investors. Those 2 teams have already hired 4 non-Indian head coaches between them. The owners are clearly going to have to reveal their position as bigoted criminals to someone if that's the route they're wanting to go down.

4 teams are owned by by ipl owners and you are kidding yourself if you think that the coach is the decision maker in these teams, the coach will just sit and watch and speak when asked to

Who made you the judge of what is filth, what you call filth gave ecb a 500mn gbp life line

Why don’t Pakistanis buy a team no they don’t they just cry and whine to get some attention and contract

 

[cricketjoshila]

Reading all the news, updates coming through in regards to IPL owners buying teams in South African franchise league and BBL. Apparently some have openly declared zero intention to hire Pakistani cricketers due to the current ban on them in IPL.

I don’t understand how the governments of the nations allowing these IPL franchise owners to openly discriminate like this in their countries? South Africa openly prides its quota system as a response to historical racial discrimination, whilst Australia is on its own mission to remove perceptions of not being accepting to diversity.

If this really is the case, have these questions been posed to the government officials of these nations or are they knowingly putting a blind eye over this issue? Eventually, these owners will buy 90% franchises in all foreign cricket leagues and that means Pakistani players will just be ousted all together from world cricket?

Go question the sa governmet or csa or your naqvi can threaten to boycott South Africa.

Again, they're only the majority direct owner for 2 of those teams. As well as having non-Indian coaches already appointed all of those teams also have multiple British directors.

Even if they did and if they didn't pick any Indian when pool of Indian are available then we ll use the same filth terminology if PCB or Pakistani government were to instruct them not to pick any Indian players on a foreign land. That's next level of filthness.

How you can't process simple notion of hatefilled racism shouldn't become business and sporting practices, but being Indian we don't expect you to process that in your head

 

[shaz619]

Indians dont hire Pakistanis in IPL, has anybody been able to do anything except the annual crying on pp

England is not your dads country though is it, and we owned you with the whip once upon a time & the British Raj will not hesitate to unleash, be careful, we are already reducing the number of dogs that are desperate to cross our borders from your part of the world.

How many non muslim players play for countries like Pakistan or Afghanistan? Is that not discrimination? Have you or likes of Mo Ali ever spoke about that?

 

[topspin]

I advise all sincere Pakistani’s, British Pakistanis who have the best interest of humanity to not even debate with racist Indian scum posters here.

There is no justification for racism and discrimination. Tunn ke Rakho in besharmo ko.

We all know these guys have no shame. Deep down they know full well that they’ve turned cricket into a joke.

The English and Aussie fans also not oblivious to this either.

Even if I was some low life Indian and I saw these shenanigans as a “sauce of pride for my kountryy”, I certainly wouldn’t be making time to be doing bhangra or acting like some self-appointed spokesperson of BCCI and BJP on some Pakistani forum, like they way Joshila does. Taking low life behaviour to a new low.

Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali calls on players to put pressure on ECB to prevent discrimination by Indian-owned Hundred teams:

“In the UK, I’m not sure that can happen – and I hope it doesn’t happen,” Moeen told Telegraph Sport. “It just shouldn’t happen, hopefully it won’t happen. We just have to wait and see if it does, but I think it’d be a massive shame, and I’m sure the ECB will definitely keep an eye out.”

“There’ll be a group of players that will speak up, there’ll be things done about it. I think players should speak up. Anyone that has any sort of concern for these kind of things – it doesn’t matter if they have Pakistani heritage – should speak up."

“Obviously, the news is very new. So I’ve not really had a chance to speak to anyone, but most of the players would be on the same page."

“It’d be really interesting to see what happens, because I genuinely think other countries can do what they want, obviously we’re not in control of those things, but in the UK, we have a bit more say about these things.”

“These kind of things have been happening for ages now it’s time for a solution, because it’s not fair – it’s obviously discriminating against certain type of people, It’s horrible."

“I just find it strange that no one really talks about it too much. Especially at the top, no one really mentions it. People have not been speaking about it so they don’t get in trouble.”

“It’s such a difficult one, because all these teams are everywhere in every league. So now if players speak out, or if they say anything, then it affects their career. It’s a difficult position for players to be in. When you’re an older player like myself, you don’t really care too much.”

“The difficulty is that you can’t really prove anything if they don’t get picked. But if it happens for three or four years in a row, that’s different.”

“It probably didn’t even cross their mind that much, honestly, because our mindset is not like that in England, I just think when they sold, it just didn’t cross their mind,”

“I would love to see Pakistan play India in England at a neutral ground. I think it’d be amazing for Test cricket, because they never play against each other. The crowds would be amazing, and the following would be amazing.

“Imagine what it’ll do for the game. The following that the teams have in England is huge. It’d be amazing to have that.”

Another kashmiri Pakistani speaking up
Also with his kids being half Bangladeshi he should definitely speak out

The only hope is to fight this discrimination in the Hundred and set an example for the rest of the World. A win through the UK justice system would do wonders for World cricket. The ball is in your court British Pakistanis

What we need is you to be the lawyer. Just turn up to court and tell them “Indian owned franchises should be fighting it out to buy Babar Azam because he can hit 6 fours in a super over”.

 

[kingusama92]

While it's not nice to see, I've never had an issue with the IPL keeping Pakistani players out. It's a domestic competition and everything is India-centric (i.e., fans, sponsors, teams). They have to keep that in mind as they're running a business and it's the crown jewel of their cricketing setup. While Pakistani players would add a unique flavor to the league, it's not the end of the world for those involved.

However, spreading the same mindset to other leagues is unacceptable and shouldn't be supported by anyone.

Baatein kra lo. Tere se toh kuch hona nahi, at least @Rana will take up the fight

I have no problem pakistan players playing 100. But i am not sure anyone is good enough. Even usman tariq who is a poor fielder and batsman. Can't rely on pause to get a gig. 100 is shorter than T20. So among pak players there are no power hitters, no outstanding fast bowlers. May be shaheen or Hasan Ali as the conditions are English conditions. But Shaheen had a bad outing in BBL. That's about it. Haris Rauf is suitable for Australia. Not sure about England. Rest of the guys are not really good enough. There are 3 or 4 franchisees have no indirect pressure not to hire pak players. Let us see what they do.

It’s ironic that when you retaliate against hate, the first thing you do is showcase your own hatred.

The other irony: posters like @Rana and @Kriketer liking your hate filled post, while on the other hand stoutly defending equity and fairness.

Okay, but its not really about that.
