Indian Premier League Should Be Cancelled
Would it be a right choice?
England or South Africa, the finalization of the venue of much discussed and delayed event of Indian Premier League (IPL) is still in doldrums. The security threat was not at all ignorable when the world witnessed the traumatic situation faced by Sri Lankans in Lahore, Pakistan. Cricket is really the soft target for the terrorists in the Sub Continent.
The Chief of IPL Mr. Modi although wise enough to export the event to save his reputation and of course the future of this multi billion dollar event, but his dreams seem to be almost shattering. Shifting of IPL to England or South Africa was a unilateral decision taken by the BCCI the Cricket Board of India and this decision was taken without seeking any sort of consent or guarantee from the Cricket Boards of the expected venues. Obviously, it was a matter of shock for ECB and Cricket South Africa. Such kind of event requires long term planning and taking into account all the aspects of management which include boarding, lodging, TV rights, availability of stadiums and above all the existence of fool proof security plan. Mr. Modi is now in a twisted and cramped situation and is reaching the point of no return.
Just recently the news floated around the world that Terrorists inside India had a very dangerous plan to kidnap their premier cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly. The news was enough to run the chill through the spines of many Cricket lovers in and outside India. In these circumstances, it can clearly be said that BCCI has dragged England and South Africa into a very dangerous situation. IPL is a very costly event and many International Players would be participating in that tournament. No matter Indian Government is giving the excuse of ongoing Elections which is causing the Government to declare their inability to handle the security requirements of the tournament, but inside story would not be very good. Why this event needs extra security? Surely the news of kidnapping plot is the key instrument which has forced the Government to indirectly halt the event or unofficially cancel it to be held on Indian soil.
Though the above mentioned facts are increasing difficulties for India, but the shifting of event most likely to England or South Africa could make the matters more difficult for the nations to be hosting IPL now. Recently, Mr. Gordon Brown the Prime Minister of Great Britain clearly mentioned that security threats are always alive in the United Kingdom and Al Qaeda is planning to initiate a very dangerous action this time. The UK Government may have taken all necessary measures but the question is, those forces that made the staging of IPL impossible inside India, can’t they hit this event even more badly inside UK? This is a million dollar question, all because, if any thing unexpected happens inside UK then it will badly hurt the future of sporting events inside UK too.
The Governments of the countries likely to host the IPL should not take this matter as a birthday party. After 26/11 in Mumbai and Lahore attacks on Sri Lankan team, cricket has become extremely dangerous event for the people of the Sub Continent. Handling a Test Series or a one day series with any country has different sort of security requirements. However the event of IPL’s size need a detailed and most efficient security plan and requires huge sum of money to be spent to execute those plans. Although IPL management has shown their willingness to overcome all budgetary constraints regarding the security, but still it is not at all necessary that South Africa or UK may welcome IPL’s event on their soil.
Things may turn more worst because IPL’s management has decided not to include Pakistani players in this edition which will flare up the Pakistani community inside UK and South Africa. The issue is very serious and must be taken into account. Every body knows that Indo Pak tensions are on a high wave these days, excluding Pakistani players from IPL is also making this event a target for disturbance and disruption.
Eventually, Indian Government should not allow IPL to be exported outside the territory of India. It is better to cancel the event this year to avoid all sorts of complications and embarrassments. The matter is now highly politicized inside India and is being used as an instrument to defame each other during election campaign. The best solution left now is to forcefully cancel the event which is a much better option now.
