IPL 5 so far has been a showcase of controversies. Spot-fixing, rave party drug case, molestation case, fighting celebrities & who knows what is coming up?
I just want to thank my Lord for unhealthy relationship between the two countries that restricted access of Pakistani cricketers in the Indian Premier League; it is turning out to be a blessing in disguise for Pakistani players. Luke Pomersbach confesses molesting an American lady Zohal Hamid and beating the crap out of his fiance; the Wanhkede stadium (Mumbai) turned into a fighting arena when Shahrukh Khan collided with a bunch of guards; Wayne Parnell and Rahul Sharma caught in a party at Juhu with a lot of ladies and cocaine; 5 players has been suspended from IPL 5 after being caught in the spot-fixing sting operation.
Pakistani players has always been a part of controversies; it would be hard to predict if these players would have stayed away from the above mentioned controversies.
IPL is a cancer that has finally started hurting India, however, its result will be evident in the next few years. When upcoming Indian superstars will get influenced by the likes of Luke Pomersbach, Shane Warne, Jesse Ryder, Wayne Parnell and alike; their lust and love for alcohol, girls, sex and drugs will become much bigger than their talent.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) must need to look at all these controversies before allowing its players to participate in the next edition of IPL. However, it seems unlikely that PCB will take any sensible step in this matter as Chairman Zaka Ashraf (ZA) accepted the invitation to visit India for the final of an event that rejected Pakistani players participation. In the end, I would like to make a request to ZA that even though we know you are Mr. President's friend - please carry yourself with some dignity!
It would be a shame for PK players to go and play after the shambolic maltreatment in IPL 2. A shameless nation we are :(
