ECB Issues Statement Over Rehan Ahmed's Visa Issue, Thanks Local Authorities
Wales Cricket Board: England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Tuesday issued a statement on the visa issue with spinner Rehan Ahmed, who was stopped from exiting Hirasar Airport in Rajkot due to insufficient paperwork upon arrival from Abu Dhabi with the rest of the English team after a mid-series break, ahead of the third Test.
ECB expressed gratitude for the support of local authorities and assuring Ahmed's continued preparation with the squad for the third Test.
"We were advised, on returning to India, that there was paperwork discrepancy with Rehan Ahmed's visa. The local authorities at Rajkot Airport were supportive, enabling Rehan entry on a temporary visa. The correct visa should be processed and issued in the coming days. He will continue to prepare with the rest of the squad ahead of the third Test," the ECB said in a statement on Tuesday, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
