Verdict
Pakistan have played in four consecutive World T20 semifinals, twice reached the final and won the trophy once. So there is no doubt that they have some of the best T20 players in the world.
India on the other hand have not been able to reach the semifinals since 2007 so it makes sense to bring Pakistani players in the IPL. It would raise the quality of the tournament, better players will provide better contests and playing with/against the best will be beneficial to young Indian players. Pakistani fans too deserve to see their brightest talents shine in the IPL and receive financial rewards which just playing for the national team does not provide.
It is time to set aside politics from sport and treat cricketers as cricketers.

Dhiraj Salian: There's a big talent pool in Pakistan which IPL teams must use to their advantage. The playing conditions also don't differ much and names like Afridi, Akmal, Misbah and Tanvir add strength to any side they play in. On the emotional side it's a great feeling to see players from both the countries play together.
Tania Dey: Pakistani players have hogged the limelight continuously but only for the wrong reasons. Currently the Pakistani side does not boast any exceptional talent hence their inclusion or exclusion would not affect the popularity of IPL in any way.

the terrorism is noy related to the players . there are good players and good hearted players in pak team also so they must be allowed to play
26 Dec 2012
True cricket fans would like to see good cricket.I think they should be allowed to play. I remember Sohail tanvir taking 17 wickets in the first IPL season and he was the purple cap holder. And in one match Misbah ul haq had scored 21 runs in last over (20 over)for RCB.

It is also good to put hatred behind and look at new beginning. war cannot stop without an effort to make peace
10 Dec 2012
Come on. Let the Pakistani's play. What did they do? Only the terrorists did it. What did the players do?
10 Dec 2012
i think having Pakistan players playing in the IPL will be good for the sport and create a camaraderie between supporters and players... who knows it may be able to bring the countries together to some extent. IPL has become a massive tournament and since it is open to players from all around the world shouldn't Pakistani players be involved as well... afterall Pakistan is a part of this world too!

ya its time now to show good relation in cricket. why should we bring cricket in btw for some political reasons, Why only cricket why not hockey. kabadi?? come on its time now to bring them in ..

At the end of the day, we all are humans before we are actually Indian/Pakistani :)

Everyone Should Be Given a Chance,,, No One Should Be Left Behind,,,, Is It Pakistani Or Someone Else....

And they also get a chance to play later in test cricket coz of thier talent. How would you like to hav players like Ravindra jadeja, Yusuf pathan,Joginder sharma ,MS Gony etc etc in test team. All these players r warming up the benches and hav got enormous talent thats y dey r paid huge. WHAT SAY AGAINST PPL ??? shall we have pure INDIAN PLAYERS in IPL as the name sugge

shall we have pure INDIAN PLAYERS in IPL as the name suggest at least for one season.May b dat will work out for u ..
07 Dec 2012
For those who are against let them remove all international players and have one IPL season of pure indian talents who they think r warming up the benches. And everything would be sorted out I guess. So lets give dem a chance to play T20 in INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE.
07 Dec 2012
Without pak players there is no true entertainment.We havent seen the best in IPL ever since Pak players have been removed from IPL.It is my request, plz do allow pak players to participate in IPl. And i am sure RCB MANAGEMENT would take up dis issue with government and other participating teams.
THANK U !!
07 Dec 2012
If we treat someone in this manner then dont expect humbleness from them.(This is for those who are against ).
Those who have stood against,i dont think they r sportive but in fact discriminative.
What would happen if someone starts discriminating u and ur close ones.
HOW WOULD U FEEL ???
AWESOME I GUESS _(against)
07 Dec 2012
i just want to ask one question if it wasnt pak and some other country. And if INDIAN PLAYERS wer not allowed how would u feel.
just like we hav been kicked out of OLYMPICS lately...
thats how any player would feel, embarrassed just like indians r feeling for not being allowed to participate in olympics
07 Dec 2012
IPL is like a county cricket everyone has to get a fair chance to participate in it so i guess they can participate in it
07 Dec 2012
U feel pakistanis r terrorists, den what do u hav to say about players who didnt allow sehwag to score his century in one of his one day match he played against SRI LANKA. I dont want to name dose players, coz one is already playin for RCB.
so guys whats wrong if pak players play.

Pakistan has the best T20 players for eg- Afridi, Akmal Brothers, Razzak, Imaran, Gul, Ajmal etc.. RCB should get as many pakis as poosible as it will help RCB chances to win IPL 2013... RCB Rockkkkssss.....
05 Dec 2012
The players not attacked India right ?? They didn't put Bomb right ?? Some Why they have Cricket has to suffer for some other Bad guys ?? Give them a chance :)
05 Dec 2012
Many pakistani players too good in cricket if rcb recruits them then its their profit the team will have 11 strong players.
05 Dec 2012
considering their talent pakistanis are the one of the best t20 players in the world. their intro into the ipl will add a lot of excitement
03 Dec 2012
There are many domestic games like Big Bash, Friends League, BPL, SLPL, and Zimbwabe domestic...
I'm sure when IPL has Pak players it would be super-awesome and entertaining!
01 Dec 2012
why should we bring our country's rivalry in sports.....sports is all together a different religion and the players should not suffer due to this..
30 Nov 2012
We should not link sport team with terror groups that's not good for any sport Pakistan got superb
30 Nov 2012
I believe that Pakistani players should also be allowed to play as they all have some serious talent, in the form or Sohail Tanvir, Mohammed Hafeez, etc. Also, allowing tham to play in the IPL will strengthen the bonds between India and Pakistan not only in the cricket world, but in other places as well.
30 Nov 2012
the players frm the most consistent t20 team must be in IPL...it wld enhance the tournament performance
29 Nov 2012
Well its the game of cricket ... All talented players need to be in this big league ...The quality of the players is directly related to the betterment of the quality game..
29 Nov 2012
v need 2 4gety things n move on in life ...
i m a mumbaikar n i belive the pakistani players r not responsible 4 the terror attack but the terrorists are .
pakistani players should b allowed to go 4 auctions whenever it is n those holding the teams should decide if they want them or not...
29 Nov 2012
Yes.Pak players should be allowed to play ..You can't isolate them all the time.As someone rightly said,it's high time that we bury the differences
28 Nov 2012
Yes they should definately play!!!!
They are also cricketers like other players of IPL and they haven't done any mistake.
28 Nov 2012
considering the talent pakistan has its better bcci allow the players to take part in the next edition of ipl. it will also help to strengthen th bond between 2 countries and guarantee some feisty competition on the pitch.
27 Nov 2012
What's wrong if they play..? Lets forget! Sialkot Stallions have played CLT20 2012. Now...WHATS THE PROBLEM?

We should not much more worried regarding this issue whether pakistani players will paly or not ipl will not lost popularity
30 Dec 2012
It would be hard as the bilateral ties is a series of few matches, ipl spans for almost 2 months, it may be risky for them to go and play in senstive cities ..
30 Dec 2012
except hafeez no one of pakistani players looking good for T20 so let them forget
29 Dec 2012
Pakistan may cause more problems so this series is more than enough for them........
RCB!!!!!!!!!!
29 Dec 2012
Because pakistani players may all ways be with anger and cause a fight in this peacefull season. So BCCI took a very good decision about the pakistani players
28 Dec 2012
The Way Kamaran behaved with Ishanth Sharma in first T20, Proves that No Pakistanis should be allowed to Play in the IPL not just in 2013 but Never Ever.
28 Dec 2012
Long days passed still the topic remain same whether the pakistani players shoul d be allowed to play in 2013 IPL those who have seen the last t20 match of India vs pakistan they easily understood why pakistan player should not allow to play IPL 2013. Now I have request please put some interesting topic in debate section
26 Dec 2012
any how they are doing well in bangledesh premier league and srilanka premier league .. its enough for them
10 Dec 2012
d blame game starts even though there is no mistake on our side so strong NO from my side
09 Dec 2012
they are the match fixers ever and ever
they didn't leave their own country then what about ipl for them?
08 Dec 2012
b'cos they bring problem with them for india and no one are expecting them here so it's better if we keep them out of country

IPL franchisees asked not to pick PAK players!! Yippee!!

08 Dec 2012
its sad that we can even think of having them in the IPL after 26 /11 it will be an insult to all our brave soldiers who died fighting the pakis we should not have a bilateral series also now that they are coming for the bilateral series we should boycott it we should not even watch it on television
07 Dec 2012
this ppl will ruined IPL domination so they should not play in IPL but for sure in Clt20
07 Dec 2012
Well We have Eligible Players who are Still warming side Benches, rather opting for Pakistani's players,
We are Good with out them :)
07 Dec 2012
omg Defender is getting many vote But Pak plyer will be badly treated here so for the concern they should not play in IPL
06 Dec 2012
cant be expressed in words, differences cannot be buried they keep multiplying every instant...
05 Dec 2012
instead of pakistan players.. build our local players by givin chance to them.. no necessity of pakistan players..
02 Dec 2012
If they come then their is some spoil......then the courage of IPL will gone
29 Nov 2012
Never.We should not allow them to play in IPL. Another attack may be happen in grounds.
29 Nov 2012
i think we all want to pak players play in ipl but presently we don't want to play pak players in ipl
28 Nov 2012
When the PCB banned pak players from playing in the IPL, they had the adocity so say that they will create their own league! Which player wants to go to pakistan?! And even pak players dont play in pakistan. So why should we accept them in the IPL?!
27 Nov 2012
Let first pakistan goverment give punishment those who involve in Mumbai blast, than pakistan players should allowed to play
27 Nov 2012
Pakistanis were so talented at cricket yet so susceptible to the lure of corruption.
27 Nov 2012
I oppose it. Please BCCI don't do this. All the famous bomb blast have taken place whenever India resumed its cricketing tie with them.all i want to say that don't give invitation.
26 Nov 2012
They are like blood suckers.. Its we Indians who get sucked!!
Keep them out of IPL!!
26 Nov 2012
Firstly, the pakistan cricket board must put a lid on their cocky attitude towards the IPL. It was them who opted out of the IPL. We never said anything!
26 Nov 2012
We are happy without large fixing controversies in IPL. Allowing Pak players is a risk!
