Bollywood veteran Rishi Kapoor has made a plea for Pakistani
players to be considered for playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) again.
The 64-year-old actor took to Twitter on Tuesday night, on
the eve of the opening ceremony of the 10th edition of the premier cricket
tournament.
"IPL. You got world players. Afghanistan makes debut.
My plea is please consider Pakistani players. Phir match hoga! (match will
happen then!) Hum bade log hain (We are big people). Please," Rishi posted.
Two Afghanistan cricketers Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan
will make their debut in the T20 league tournament for Sunrisers Hyderabad this
year.
Rishi's appeal comes at a time when the ties between the two
countries are going through a rough patch. No Pakistani player has played in
the IPL after 2008.
The 10th edition of IPL will commence from Wednesday evening
with Royal Challengers Bangalore playing Sunrisers Hyderabad.
