HYDERABAD: Pakistani players have been ignored by the Indian Premier League (IPL) once again meaning there will be no Pakistani cricketers in the next season of the Twenty20 league.

Rajiv Shukla, IPL’s chairman had earlier said that the decision to include Pakistani players in the league was up to the franchises but later said that the issue was not even under discussion.

The dates for next year’s IPL were decided and it will start in Chennai on April 4 and end on May 27, 2012.
