This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 11May 2015.
However, one of the leaders of BJP who is an MP from Bihar has objections to such a course of action. In his opinion, Pakistan continues to extend support to terrorists like Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and also allow Dawood Ibrahim to move about freely in Pakistan, what purpose would be served by holding cricket matches.
His utterances are strange because Prime Minister Narendra Modi is always trying to mend fences with the neighbors and he should seize this opportunity to carry out a bit of cricket diplomacy. We already have Pakistani cricketers in the IPL games – some of them are directly attached to the teams as coaches, others are a part of the commentary teams while others liven up the IPL shows with their presence and share snippets of history.
A game like cricket should be devoid of politics.
