Pakistani players faced a big issue regarding visas before arriving in Hyderabad for their campaign in the ODI World Cup 2023. It is not easy to get Indian visas, especially for the citizens of Pakistan. For the ODI World Cup 2023, India is monitoring the visas of Pakistan fans and journalists who wish to visit India to take part in the cricket festival.
The International Cricket Board said that India is trying to get visas for the fans and journalists of Pakistan. "This (visa) is an obligation of our host and they are working hard on it with our full support. Every effort is being made to get this sorted," said the International Cricket Board in its statement. The struggle of Pakistan fans and journalists has not gone well with the Pakistan cricket board.
It is unfortunate to note that Pakistan journalists are said to ask their questions regarding the ODI World Cup in WhatsApp groups. "We have been reminding the Apex Council about their obligations and members' agreement on issuing visas for fans and journalists for the last three years and continue to raise concerns with all relevant authorities," a statement from the Pakistan Cricket Board criticized India.
