Factors other than sports caused IPL row: FO

Indians have shown their true face by blocking sportsman just to show their hate for Pakistan.



ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office said on Thursday that exclusion of Pakistani cricketers from the bidding process of the Indian Premier League (IPL) “is a decision influenced by variables extraneous to sports”.
Earlier, the Indian High Commission had released a statement on the row, saying it was unfair to blame New Delhi for the non-selection of Pakistani players. “Blaming the Indian government for the absence of Pakistani players from the IPL is unfortunate.” However, Pakistan’s Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit told Dawn: “It is clear from the press release of the Indian High Commission that the decision to not include Pakistani cricketers was influenced by variables extraneous to sports and the press release is self-explanatory as to why the cricketers were not included in the bidding process.”
