Reports indicate that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) submitted their visa applications to the Indian embassy shortly after the conclusion of the Asia Cup 2023. However, they faced delays in receiving clearance, necessitating changes to their travel plans. Originally, the Men in Green had intended to embark on a team bonding trip to Dubai before proceeding to India for the ICC World Cup 2023.

However, due to visa-related delays, they had to adjust their plans. In response, the PCB wrote to the International Cricket Council (ICC), highlighting the difficulties their players faced and inquiring whether the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had provided written assurances regarding visas for all participating nations.

Despite the initial complications, the Pakistan cricket team has now obtained the necessary Indian visas for the ICC World Cup 2023. They are scheduled to depart for Dubai on the morning of Wednesday, September 27th. Following a stopover in Dubai, they will continue their journey to Hyderabad, India, on the same evening.

While there is no official confirmation regarding the cause of the visa delays for Pakistan, it can be speculated that political tensions between the two countries may have contributed to the situation. This will mark Pakistan’s first visit to India since the T20 World Cup in 2016.
