That decision is India's to make. Players supporting the pakistan cause in kashmir are not welcome in India.
Mixing politics with everything else like we're making cake batter aren't we?
Let me ask you this: if you are living in America, are you automatically a Biden supporter?
If you are living in India, are you automatically a fan of Modi?
If you work for a company, are you automatically entitled to agree with whatever the company does?
Let's say I work for company A, and it was one of the only companies which did not make a public statement regarding a trend happening. Are you to assume that I don't accept or support that trend?
Players can participate in a league like the KPL without having any political ties with the purpose. In fact, it is a league, not a political propaganda tool.
My point is that the BCCI is literally assuming that a league is a political tool whereas I don't think that is true at all. It is an assignment, a way for these retired players to earn.
How do you know Gibbs or Monty support Pakistan's view? They are most likely doing it just for the money.
The point I'm trying to make which people aren't understanding is that by doing a particular action, you cannot assume my cause for doing the action.
From your point, I can understand that KPL might seem like a political tool, but one cannot rely on assumptions.
Do all players participating in the IPL support the Modi government? Do you think that everyone has to agree with your government in order to seek employment? That is called an authoritarian mindset and is a breach of the personal freedoms that people have. It is also a form of discrimination, that is, discriminating people based on their political viewpoints.
Do you believe that it is right to breach someone's personal freedoms? Do you also believe that it is right to discriminate against people based on their political ideology?
If anyone believes that foreign players, or outsiders, need to alter their viewpoints, their perspectives, and their beliefs to be included in your activities, it only proves that you are thinking from an extremely nationalistic sense and that you are afraid of having your own viewpoints challenged.
A fun fact if you're interested, most companies and businesses around the world have strict rules and regulations against talking about politics in the workspace. Sports can be considered as a business, the PSL can be considered as a company or an organization, so can KPL.
It is not required that if you participate in an activity, that someone else can assume the reasons as to why you are indulging in it.
Have you ever worn a T-shirt before? By wearing clothing, are you supporting the unpaid labor in the sweatshops across the subcontinent?
By your logic, your employer should be able to dictate everything about your life, the food you eat, your favorite Youtube channel, what socks you wear, and who knows what else.
The point is that one should not mix politics with every other aspect of society.
