Pakistan Cricket Board Complaint against IPL2010 rejected by ICC

The complaint against IPL 2010 by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for snubbing Pakistani players has been rejected by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

ICC said “it cannot act against a domestic event” like the one in issue. Report says that “Pakistan had written to the ICC complaining about the treatment meted out to the players” but the response from the ICC was not positive. “PCB officials are not very happy at the response from the ICC”, the same report added.

ICC think that the matter is domestic and they cannot interfere with it. ICC chief himself has written to the PCB about the same and has informed them that “the governing body could not interfere in what was primarily a domestic event”.

A lot of hue and cry were raised in Pakistan after no players from Pakistan could find a buyer in the IPL 2010 auction weeks ago. Sources say “when the IPL franchises were told they would have to arrange for the security of the players themselves, they decided against bidding for the Pakistani cricketers at the auction”.

More reports on the same coming soon.
