The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has expressed deep concern over the delay in Indian visas for Pakistani fans and journalists during the ICC World Cup.
PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf met with Foreign Secretary Syrus Sajjad Qazi on Monday to discuss the issue. The PCB also issued a statement expressing its disappointment with the delay.
The PCB has urged the Foreign Secretary to take up the matter with the Indian Home Ministry and the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.
Many Pakistani fans and journalists have been waiting for weeks for their visas to be approved. Some have even had to cancel their travel plans.
The delay in visas has caused a lot of frustration and uncertainty for Pakistani fans and journalists. It has also raised concerns about the safety and security of those who are able to travel to India.
The PCB is calling on the Indian government to expedite the visa process so that Pakistani fans and journalists can attend the World Cup.
