    England Spinner Shoaib Bashir’s Arrival In India For Test Series Delayed Due To Visa Issues

    By IANS News January 22, 2024 • 17:32 PM View: 820
    Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: England’s first practice session at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday began without uncapped off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, who is still in the UAE due to visa issues delaying his arrival in India.

    Bashir, who plays for Somerset in England’s domestic cricket circuit, is of Pakistani heritage and is the only member from the Test side facing paperwork issues. Dan Lawrence, named as Harry Brook’s replacement, is expected to arrive in Hyderabad on Monday night.

    Head coach Brendon McCullum insisted Bashir will be available for selection ahead of the opening Test on January 25. "Bash will join us hopefully tomorrow as well. He's got a couple of issues with his visa coming through. We're confident on the back of the help from the BCCI and the Indian government that (the issue) will sort itself out pretty quickly as well."
