Shahrukh Khan the actor and co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) said that if he had few slot remaining to fill up, he would definitely welcome the Pakistani players as he has no issue including them in his team. He full heartedly welcomes the Pakistani players.
"We did have a number of them in the first IPL and in the second, no Pakistani player was allowed to play. This year, we don't have any more slot left. But if we had and they are made available legally, we would have loved to have them," the actor said.
"We had one slot this year and we took Shane Bond, because we needed a fast bowler. We would have loved to have any player from any country which would boost our team," Shahrukh said.
Shahrukh Khan reacted strongly on the issue of not including Pakistani players in the second season of IPL and said "If there was any issue, that could have been solved in a fairly, nice manner. I believe my country stands for democracy and goodness and we should invite everyone.
"I never involve myself in politics -- in films or in sports. We are a wonderful democratic, happy an secular country and that''s how it should be," he said.
