ICC rejects PCB complaint against IPL
KARACHI: The ICC has rejected the Pakistan Cricket Boards complaint against the Indian Premier League for snubbing Pakistani players, saying that it cannot act against a domestic event.
Well-placed sources in the PCB said that Pakistan had written to the ICC complaining about the treatment meted out to the players.
Unfortunately for the PCB the ICC response was not very positive and the PCB officials are not very happy at the response from the ICC, a source disclosed.
The source said ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat has written to the PCB informing that the governing body could not interfere in what was primarily a domestic event. The ICC told the PCB that since the IPL was primarily a domestic tournament of the Indian cricket Board it couldnt do anything, the source said.
The ICC also took the same stance as the IPL that the franchises which bid for the players were also private enterprises and the ICC had no control over them, the source added.Agencies

Has Pakistan forgotten IPL is a domestic tournament? I find it strange that they had to complain to the ICC. First, they blamed the GOI, than a player says its Hindu mentality, now they complain to the ICC.
Regardless of the all drama, I'm sure majority of the Indians want to see Afridi and a few others in the next IPL, me included!
