No bidders for Pak players at IPL3 auction: Is pure business the only reason?

The recent IPL auction turned many eyebrows at least from Pakistani soil.

The news of the day was: The franchisee didn't buy a single Pak player. Coincidentally Pak is the defending T20 world champion side. So in a way this was quite unexpected as Pak side has the likes of Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik who can turn the nerve wrenching games in their side anytime.

Is pure business the only reason?

The answer is 'no' and 'yes'.
The answer is 'no' because if this has got to do with only business reasons, the franchisees are not so insane to let the players go of Afridi's caliber.

Consider the following chain of actions:
1) IPL franchisee buys a Pak player
2) At one of the venues, lets say, Mumbai, on the day of given match where-in the "sold-out" Pak player comes to play the game.
(The IPL will be hosted in India this time. Lat year SA hosted the IPL as our Government could not give necessary protection to the tournament. The IndianPremierLeague held in some country other than India...What a paradox!!) Anyways coming back to the point.
3) The big bosses of our politics Thakares, Ranes decide, (let democracy be damned) to let any Pak player not play on the Indian soil and demolish the pitch.

If the events occur in a way described as above, the franchisee would get screwed if it had bought the Pak players at a whopping prices.

The answer is 'yes' because in foresight franchisees have made a decision out of the business sense only (considering the fact that the money invested in Pak players may go for a toss).
