AFRIDI TO BECOME GOVERNOR OF CHHATTISGARH: AVX

Afridi may become Governor of Chhattisgarh after he became inconvenient for the IPL alleges AVX Shenoy

Pakistani cricketers may not need to sulk at being ditched at the IPL auctions if rumors originating from AVX Shenoy are to be believed. The Government of India may yet undo the blunder of the nation’s sports barons who dared defy the trend set forth by a newspaper on page 14 and page 15.

True, their country has been trying rather desperately to hurt India, but the Pakistani players were nevertheless shocked along with the population of both countries, that their ability to make money off said country(India) was summarily derailed and denied by the people who had this money to give.

The logic, if true, proves the cruelty of Indian franchise owners, especially when the newspaper Times of India has single-handedly tried to make peace and declared by sheer force of print that the tax paying citizens of a sovereign nation are not to be held accountable for the actions of their government.

“The way I see it, the IPL and India have made fun of us and our country by treating us this way,” Afridi said.

“We are the Twenty20 World Champions and for me the attitude of the franchisees was disappointing. I feel bad for the Indian people who I am sure wanted to see us play in the IPL this year,” Afridi went on to say.

Afridi’s sympathy for the Indian people has not gone unnoticed. AVX Shenoy has allegedly seen to it that the sympathetic Afridi, a great leg spinner, 20/20 player and ..well what else does he need to be, was not completely humiliated and, to use a Delhi phrase, ‘kicked upstairs’.

AVX Shenoy taking his cue from the TOI (*TOI’s arbitrary hijacking of Indian foreign policy has been roundly condemned by Mindry on http://twitter.com/mindryin.), has unilaterally nominated Shahid Afridi to be the governor of Chhattisgarh. “Chhattisgarh is a state in India. I’m not really sure where it is. It’s not in my text book from 1994. I checked just to be sure. I have all my old text books. But the Times of India has clearly listed it as a state and there’s also a neat website, the website was the clincher. We must make sure that we don’t offend the leg spinner of another country. It goes against the great tradition of India. The post of the Governor is largely cermonial and somewhat unnecessary but nevertheless an integral part of the constitution. I believe Shahid is the right man for the job. I have offered and he has rejected but I’m sure he’ll take it up.”

Afridi and Abdul Razzaq, who was offered the post of Governor of blue, orange, and pink, were both unavailable for comment. Sohail Tanvir said the decision was not based on cricketing sense but on political grounds, but since it’s unclear if he was even asked this particular question, it’s most likely that he was quoted out of context.

PCB chairman whose name doesn’t really matter was unable to reach Lalit Modi, but it is believed that because of a typo in his phone book did get a resounding lecture from Narendra “Wrong Number” Modi. Detailed transcripts of this colorful conversation are awaited.

The practise of awarding governorships to inconvenient or incompetent bureaucrats is a cherished tradition, the former NSA being the latest ambiguous example, perhaps of either or both.

Technically, however, no one can deny that the role of Governor in an Indian state looks quite good on the resume of a Pakistani leg spinner.

Home Ministry sources have chosen not to comment but are believed to be in favor of the move on principle as the only MMS on rapidshare(A file sharing site with a galaxy full of porn recently discovered by the Home Ministry due to the path breaking research work of N.D. Tiwari, former governor of Andhra Pradesh.) titled Afridiplayingwithball was a 30 second grainy clip of the leg spinner bowling.

“Are you nuts? No, I don’t know where Chhattisgarh is, or it’s correct spelling but AVX is barely a bank manager. In fact, I’m pretty sure he isn’t. How does he get the time to manage a bank and do all this other extracurricular stuff? In any case, he does not have the authority to appoint the governor of Chhattisgarh. Sure, he signed the nuclear deal and it came into effect a few months later, but mark my words Shahid Afridi will not be the governor of Chhattisgarh, Kashmir maybe if we keep wimping out, but not Chhattisgarh ,” said politically astute 8^th standard student Thabish in a somewhat subversive mood after we caught him trying to access files on rapidshare.
