Pakistan athletes’ participation in global events held in India has always been a contentious subject. “If it (visas) isn’t (there), then like any nation would expect, we would also expect ICC to take that up directly with India and the Indian government through the BCCI to resolve this matter.” We expect a response from the ICC on whether our players and officials will receive visas to participate in the tournament. “We have asked for a deadline till December-January, which we believe is the right thing. He then clarified that it’s only fair that there is a time-frame for such a deadline. “We have sought assurances from the ICC that our players will receive visas and ICC is now taking this up with the BCCI because that directive and confirmation will clearly need to come from their government,” Khan said. There is a ‘Host Agreement’ that states very clearly that host nation (India in this case) will have to provide visas and accommodation for teams that are due to participate in T20 World Cup and Pakistan is one of them,” Khan told PTI in an exclusive interaction.
