Omitting of pakistani players from IPL !!!
The omission of pakistani cricket team players by the owners of various IPL teams has been hailed by many in different sections of indian society as a collective action that should send a message to the pakistani authorities that war and play can't go hand in hand.And that this is a gesture that india won't tolerate attacks like mumbai again. While there are others who disagree, and wish that sports and diplomacy be kept apart and not intermixed. Who is right and who is wrong is a question to be debated!!!

Though it's not encouraging but sensitivities of the nation can't be ignored.What soccer is to Brazil,Rugby is to New Zealand ,Religion is to Vatican, Cricket is to India.There is no point in playing also(from Pakistanis' point of view) when your security cannot be guaranteed and sports field cannot be oblivious to the happenings beyond the entry gate of the stadium..ex.American boycott of Moscow Olympics,Munich Olympic massacre,Jesse Owens' refusal to give Nazi salute or Cassius Clay's acceptance of Islam..
Businesses try to minimize the risk from the external environment. Though the competence of Pak players may be credible, it is in anticipation of uncertain situations that such decisions are made.And I believe Pak is responsible for killing the business confidence of IPL franchisees
