Retired Australian Players voice against attacks on Indian Students!
Few Australian players have supported the Indian students in the television and other media. One thing to note is all of them are IPL players. Shane Warne, Bret Lee and Adam Gilchrist.
Are these messages or plea has anything to do with IPL? I think so. Bal Thakre urged IPL officials to throw the Australian players out of IPL after the attacks.
For these players retired or almost near retiring, IPL is very important source of income. They are not in dire straits. Who does not want more money?
What better way to get into good books of IPL or BCCI? Say some few good things about India-Australia relationship. Urge students not to retaliate and show sympathy.
Now they become ambassadors of their country and good human beings. I am not saying that they are not. Would the response have been same, if they were not playing for IPL?
Question is how much of influence IPL has played in their messages. A big one it seems. Folks who have not great stake in IPL have not said a word so far!
