Shilpa,
co-owner of Rajasthan Royals, Preity
Zinta, co-owner of the Kings XI Punjab
and Lalit Modi were addressing a press
conference to announce the tie-up
between the IPL and Colors Television
for post match coverage.
When the media wanted to know the
reason behind the owners of the IPL
teams boycotting Pakistani players,
Shilpa Shetty said that the owners
of the IPL teams decided not to bid
for the Pakistani players as they
could not take up the onus of their
security. She was quoted as saying,
“We wanted the players to be
in the country and at that point of
time we were more worried about security.
We did not want to take onus for their
security.” |
