KOLKATA: Two Pakistani players who signed up for the ongoing professional Kabaddi league in India will not make any appearances in any match held in Mumbai and Pune due to “security concerns”, Indian media reports said on Monday. “Franchises will not field players of Pakistani origin for matches held in Mumbai and Pune,” said Mashal Sports, the organisers of Pro Kabaddi 2015, in a written statement to an Indian newspaper. “This is in light of security concerns for the safety and success of the tournament being hosted in Mumbai and Pune,” the statement said.
