Shoaib Bashir Granted Visa, Set To Join England Team By Saturday

By IANS News January 24, 2024 • 19:14 PM View: 761

Wales Cricket Board: England spinner Shoaib Bashir has been granted an Indian visa, potentially rejoining the England Test squad in India by Saturday. The 20-year-old, of Pakistani heritage, was initially left in Abu Dhabi when the England team traveled to Hyderabad from their training camp on Sunday.

The saga took an unexpected turn as Bashir returned to the UK on Tuesday, and the confirmation of his Indian visa was announced on Wednesday. The off-spinner, representing Somerset, is set to miss the first Test scheduled to begin on Thursday but could reunite with the squad shortly.

The situation had prompted concerns, with parallels drawn to instances involving cricketers of Pakistani origin facing delays in obtaining Indian visas. Notably, Australian opener Usman Khawaja had experienced similar challenges.
