Members of the Pakistan and Afghanistan cricket teams were on Monday issued Indian visas for the ODI World Cup, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed. The Pakistan players and support staff will be handed their visas for the quadrennial tournament on Tuesday, reported India Today. The news comes hours after the PCB raised serious concerns with the global body over the delay in the national team's travel to Hyderabad.
The visa clearance came less than 48 hours before Pakistan's scheduled travel to India in the wee hours of September 27. They play their first warm-up game against New Zealand in Hyderabad on September 29. ''Visas have been issued to Pakistan,'' an ICC spokesperson told PTI. However, confusion remained in the Pakistan camp over the grant of visa.
The confirmation from the ICC came after the PCB wrote to ICC CEO Geoff Allardice on Monday over the visa delay besides claiming the anxious wait has adversely impacted the team's preparation for the 50-over showpiece
