Pakistan players not coming for IPL

As expected, Pakistan players are not coming for IPL. Pakistan Govt itself made the decision making it easier for franchises to make early plans about team composition and replacements. After Mumbai attacks, it was nearly impossible for Pak players to participate in IPL. Either Govts of any of the countries or some political party would have made it very difficult for them to come and play or increase security headaches for IPL-administration.
The decision has been timely and come just before auctions, so would help franchises. Irrespective of Govt stand, it would have been very difficult (if not impossible) for Pak players to come here and uncertainity over their participation would have created problems for franchises in doing their team planning. All-in-all a timely decision for franchises and right one too.

Addendum: IPL has leveraged the situation to its own benefit. Six of the pakistani players see their contract terminated. Not surprising that all these players were pretty ineffective in the first edition and four other players who made some impact last year (Gul, Tanvir, Akmal and Misbah) have their contracts suspended meaning they can play next year on same terms and conditions.
