However, the inclusion of several Pakistani cricketers in the event has drawn significant criticism. Bilateral sporting events between the two neighbours are nonexistent as a result of the tense political relations between them.
Questions about their participation in the league and the stance of the federal government and BCCI on this have been raised due to the presence of several Pakistani players in the draught pool.
Concerns are also being expressed about Ganguly’s participation in the league and the fact that he receives payment for serving as the president of the BCCI, an “office of no-profit.”
