The 17th season of IPL is being played from March 22. More than 20 matches have been played so far.
IPL is the biggest T-20 League in the world. Indian and foreign players play together in this league.
There was a time when Pakistani cricketers also used to play in IPL
Pakistani players also participated in the year 2008 i.e. the first season of IPL.
Pakistani players have not been included in even a single season played since 2008. Now you must be wondering what is the reason behind this?
In fact, after the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, relations between India and Pakistan turned sour.
Intelligence claimed that this attack was carried out by a terrorist organization of Pakistan.
In such a situation, after 2008, Pakistani players were expelled from this league.
Many political parties had raised their voice for not including Pakistani players in IPL. As a result, BCCI removed Pakistani players from this league.
After this, Pakistan Cricket Board started its own league named Pakistan Super League (PSL). Pakistan often compares this league with IPL.
