As the player’s auction for next season IPL is nearing, Modi today confirmed that there would be no players from Pakistan will be part of second season IPL, which will start on April.
In the wake 26/1l case, Pakistan government has advised its players not to travel India for IPL season as the situation in both sides of the border is not conducive for Cricket, though earlier PCB has given "No objection" to the players to be part of IPL.
Modi also said they will not put any Pakistani player up for auction for the next edition of the twenty20 league which starts from April this year.
Five Pakistan cricketers--Yasir Hameed, Yasir Arafat, Asim Kamal, Danish Kaneria and Mohammad Hafeez--were due to appear in the IPL player auction at the Indian state of Goa on February 10.
The twenty20 extravaganza is starting from April 10 this year and top players from almost all Test playing nations are expected to participate.
