Amid the clamour over India's participation in the Asia Cup 2023 that will be hosted in Pakistan, Cricket Association for the Blind in India said that the Pakistan cricket team for the Blind will not travel to India to compete in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI) president Mahantesh GK informed, 'Pakistan team is not coming to India, it is confirmed. They haven't got their visas'
While the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had earlier given clearance to Pakistan's visually challenged team, the visa clearance did not come on time from the Ministry of External Affairs.
The MHA had earlier given clearance for the issuance of visas to 34 Pakistani players and officials who were scheduled to participate in the ongoing Blind Cricket World Cup 2022 in India happening from December 5th to 17, 2022.
