The uncertainty surrounding Pakistan’s participation in the most awaited ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 ended as India finally issued visas to the Pakistan team, the governing International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Monday.
ICC’s confirmation came after the complaints of a delay in the process of visa issuance.
“Visas have been issued to the Pakistan team,” an ICC spokesperson told media without elaborating further.
PCB spokesperson Umar Farooq confirmed to the media they have been asked to collect their passports from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.
India and Pakistan have suspended bilateral cricket, thanks to soured political relations between the neighbors, and play each other only in multi-team events like the World Cup and Asia Cup.
