SPORT IPL BUTT 2 LT

Butt said he definitely smelt a conspiracy behind the way
the Pakistani players were first included in players auction
and then snubbed by the franchises.
Asked if he felt the Indians had given a tit for tat
response to Pakistan's decision to not allow its cricketers to
travel to India for the IPL II, Butt said the proper thing
should have been to make it clear Pakistani players were not
allowed in the tournament this year as well.
Asked if the PCB would allow or advise its players to
play in the IPL fourth season, Butt said this decision would
be taken at the right time.
He said the PCB was doing everything to bring to the
notice of the cricket world the injustice done to Pakistani
players at the IPL and this included taking up the matter
strongly with the International cricket Council.
"The good thing is that the government and the people are
behind us in this issue and the reaction to the IPL snub has
been very positive for Pakistan cricket," he added. PTI
