Pak NA sports committee summons Butt, Bari to explain IPL 'humiliation' | Pakistan National Assembly's Standing Committee on Sports has summoned Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt, Chief Operating Officer (COO) Wasim Bari and selector Mohammad Ilyas to explain the Indian Premier League (IPL) fiasco. "We have asked Ijaz and
Bari to attend and explain how they gave clearance to our players to participate
in the Indian Premier League (IPL) bid without getting proper assurances that
our players would not be humiliated in this fashion," The Daily Times committee
chairman Jamshed Dasti, as saying. "We have summoned Ilyas to ask him about his
statement he made against the sports minister and federal sports ministry," he
added. Dasti criticised the PCB administration over the way it handled the IPL
issue, saying the committee is particularly concerned over how the board has been
dealing with India. No player from Pakistan was picked up during the IPL 3 auction
in Mumbai on Tuesday. Exciting all-rounder Shahid Afridi and left-arm pacer Sohail
Tanvir came under the hammer but had no takers. The issue has raised huge hue
and cry across Pakistan with players saying that have been humiliated by the IPL
management and were deliberately denied place in any of the teams. |
