Lahore Attacks cast shadow on IPL

Due to recent attacks on Srilankan players in Lahore,players in NewZealand are queasy
over touring India for next month's IPL, with eight NewZealand players expected to feature in the tournament which runs from April 10-May 24.
New Zealand allrounder Jacob Oram said the events in Pakistan have only worsened the state. "Definitely after what happened in Mumbai late last year, and what happened last night, it keeps raising questions," said Oram, who is part of the Chennai Super Kings squad in the IPL along with Stephen Fleming.

Along with NewZealand, their are waves of anxiety in England, with English coach warns player against IPl."The traffic is often so bad in the big [Indian] cities where a lot of the cricket is played that the coach can move along only slowly at times, which turns it into a sitting duck for terrorists," he wrote in his Guardian column. "There's nothing stopping a tuk-tuk pulling up alongside and detonating a bomb."

So with all these happenings, what is going to be the fate of IPl? The flumboyant tournament which created a frenzy last year, is under dark waters of terror this year..
