Why Is The IPL Opposed To FICA?

Following up about IPL’s indignant stance to not clarify the security situation with FICA makes one wonder what is keeping the IPL officialdom from talking to the players that are actually the golden goose in this story?
One has to wonder what kind of PR exercise is going on as far as the IPL is concerned because the one thing they are not taking into factor is addressing the concern of the players that would comprise the stars of the IPL. After what happened in Lahore when terrorists attacked the bus containing the Sri Lankan players outside the Gaddafi stadium, one would have thought that the first thing the business minded BCCI, Lalit Modi and the IPL would do is meet up with the player representatives and put forth their security arrangements so the players will feel they are in the better know how of things and can then decide for themselves.
With FICA playing an increasingly greater role in voicing players’ concerns these days, the reasons behind alienating the body by the IPL officialdom is bizarre and decidedly unprofessional in times where the body has a greater say. While the IPL stands by its bureaucratic stance of only interacting with players through their respective boards, Tim May, the FICA chief executive, has categorically stated that the body could not and would not issue a ‘positive report’ until a clearer picture comes across through the IPL directly.
It is hard to imagine what the IPL or Lalit Modi would lose by talking to the players association. On the contrary, it would only perhaps take years off of how things were done before and provide a more refreshing, youthful approach that the IPL would win a lot of respect for. That it contains to tow the line of the old hats seems bizarrely antiquated as a method and not in keeping with the youngster’s version of the game that the IPL, even Twenty20, has often been dubbed as.
