Meanwhile as per the reports of Times of India, Rajeev Shukla said, “We have coaches and umpires participating in the IPL and there is no problem at all. But we will discuss the involvement of Pakistani players in the next full-fledged auction that will take place in 2014.”
IPL chairman was quoted by DNA, saying, “We will not play against Pakistan on any neutral venues because of the current circumstances and we have to wait and see whether the government will give clearance to host Pakistan in the near future.”
