Shoaib Akhtar..? Does he deserve to be playing in the IPL?

Question

i honestly loved watching him play in the IPL...but i believe any player who doesn't take their possition in international cricket seriously shouldn't be allowed to play.

Any player who takes drugs to enhance their performance should be banned from at any international level.

There are a lot of players who would do anything for the possition he was in but who took it for granted. In MY OPINION he shouldn't be playing in the IPL.

Answer 1

I also like Shoaib,he played nicely during last match beyween Delhi and Kolkatta.KKR win only because of his great contribution.He is really a great bowler but he lose his temper easily,that is why he is now in trouble.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

No, banned should mean banned!

Answer 4

it was great watching him but ya ur rite he doesnt really deserve the spot.

Answer 5

If Shane Warne could play despite that ridiculously short 1 yr ban for taking drugs, why can't Shoaib play?

Answer 6

Yes he should play in the ipl.He is Superb

Answer 7

I cant understand that If a player is banned from playing cricket to his own country.. How can IPL allow him to play...

In my opinion he should not play..He may be a good player but we should not allow...

Answer 8

The best man wins the game for the team and yesterday he has done that.

SRK rocks,

KKR rocks,

DADA ROCKS.

now added

SHOIAB AKTHAR ROCKS.

What a game and what a performance.

Just Rocking.

Answer 9

SRK has spent a lot on his auction. So Shoaib should play as long as PCB allows him to. Which they have from the beginning. They have always said he could play any League or County cricket.

Anyone who is in the opposite camp of KKR would like to oppose his play. He played so well on his first day. Demolished Delhi Daredevils. Took two wickets in the first over. Brilliant.

He has been given just one month. And this is his only earning we guess. He should play.

Answer 10

A PCB appeals panel today opted to delay the fast bowler’s ban, which bars him from all cricket in or for Pakistan, until June 3.

PCB spokesman Amir Bilal said: “The PCB has always shown a flexible view to Shoaib Akhtar.

“We said it at the outset that we have nothing personal against him. What ever happened has been done as per rules and regulations.

“It is because of the chairman of PCB that he was not given a life ban and just given five years. So it was the tribunal itself which opted to give him a one-month suspension so he can play in the IPL.

“If the IPL gives him permission to play we have no problem.”

The 32-year-old will now turn out for Kolkata Knight Riders, having cost the team $425,000.

IPL Chairman Lalit Modi said: “I welcome Shoaib to participate in the IPL.

“Shoaib is a great asset to cricket and will be so for his team the Kolkota Knight Riders.

“I spoke to him yesterday and he sounded hopeful of the ban being lifted. He will be in India as soon as he can. He has a great following and people love him."

it was great watching him but ya ur rite he doesnt really deserve the spot.
