No Pak players in IPL until resumption of bilateral ties

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla made it clear that there is no possibility of Pakistani players becoming a part of the lucrative Indian Premier League until and unless there is a resumption of bilateral cricket ties between India and Pakistan.Shukla said there was no campaign or hatred against Pakistan and he himself felt sad that Pakistani players were not featuring in the IPL.No one is against Pakistan or Pakistani players in India or else we would not have allowed Pakistani commentators or umpires in the IPL 5 season, Shukla told Geo News channel in an interview on Sunday.The reality is that everything is tied to the resumption of bilateral cricket ties between the two countries. Once that happens I think everything will happen automatically, he said.
