It’s strange that the Indian cricket board would take it out on the Pakistan cricket players (by not allowing them to play in the IPL), and it just reeks of arrogance, Imran said on Times Radio.
If India refuses to allow Pakistani players to compete in the IPL, so be it. Pakistan should not be concerned, he added. Imran also claimed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India has grown ‘arrogant’ as a result of its ability to generate a lot of funds.
The relationship between Pakistan and India is unfortunate. There is a lot of arrogance in the way India now acts as a superpower in cricket. Because of their ability to generate a large amount of funds, far more than any other country, I believe they now almost dictate, with the arrogance of a superpower, who they should and should not play Imran stated.
The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League began on Friday with a match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad between defending champions Gujarat Titans and four-time winners Chennai Super Kings.
