Indian Premier League (IPL) Damama has rung. The best cricketers in the world are participating in this competition. But there is no Pakistani player. Highlighting this issue, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and cricketer Imran Khan called India arrogant. In an interview with Times Radio, Imran said, ‘The way India behaves now as a superpower in the cricket world, it seems that there is a lot of arrogance in them. They are acting arrogant because they have money. India has more resources than any other country.

I think they are behaving like a superpower now. They dictate who will play against them and who won’t.’Imran calls the existing relationship between the two countries unfortunate. He said, ‘Bad relations between Pakistan and India are prevalent, it is sad and unfortunate at the same time. If India does not allow Pakistani players to play in IPL, then Pakistan should not worry about it. Because we have talented young cricketers.

IPL doors closed for Pakistani players due to political animosity. However, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Hafeez, Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif, Misbah-ul-Haq, Kamran Akmal, Younis Khan, and Umar Gul got a chance to play in the Indian franchise-based league at the start of the tournament.
