According to the 'Dawn' newspaper, Modi has told PCB Chairman Ejaz Butt that it was the responsibility of the Pakistani Board to seek NOCs from the Indian Foreign Office for players to take part in the lucrative league next year in March-April.
The report said Modi has told Butt that if Pakistani players wanted to take part in the IPL, their board would have to submit all the required NOCs including those from the PCB and the governments of India and Pakistan.
"This is an unusually tough condition set by Modi and diminishes the chances of Pakistani players taking part in the IPL," the newspaper said.
The report said Modi has sent an email to Butt outlining his condition.
"...in view of Modi's condition Butt is now using all his influence to convince the Pakistan foreign ministry to talk to their Indian counterparts so that clearance can be sought from the Indian government for the IPL," one source said.
The PCB has already issued an NOC to Abdul Razzaq as he has got a contract offer from Kolkata Knight Riders while Umar Gul is also next in line.

Ofcourse not!!! there is no politics in it. Brave decision by our organiser Mr. modi. If pakistan players are allowed to visit india, then its a gateway for extermist element from pakistan to enter india. It is not safe for everyone who participate. Better we can ignore that nation for security purpose. Dont be too soft to take a hard decision like this. I salute modi for his great and wise decision. Cheers
98% pakis are not trustworthy including wasim akram, so plz dnot allow any pakis in our motherland
See this Porkis are not fair and honest people. They smile in front of you at the same time they daggr behind us.Generally Porkistanis are born with Anti-Indian features.Let them play with China.As true Indians we don't feel like seeing them in our league just for the sake of Millions. Illiterate Losers.
Govt of India SHOULD NOT allow any Pak players to Play in IPL, If something happens, then blame will come on INDIA. Better DONOT issue any VISAs till all pending disputes are resolved with Pak. DONOT show any stupid Generosity in welcoming people from Terrorist Country
