Pakistan-Origin England Star Finally Confirmed Indian Visa After Delay, Will Be Able To Play 1st T20I
England fast-bowler Saqib Mahmood has finally been granted his visa for the side's upcoming white-ball tour of India, starting with the T20I series opener in Kolkata on January 22. Mahmood was granted his visa and he will be able to join the rest of England's touring party, with his passport expected to be back with him later in the day. The development means Mahmood will be able to board the same flight as his England teammates, with the tourists expected to arrive in India on Friday. Mahmood, who is of Pakistani heritage, had faced a delay in procuring the travel document, forcing him to miss an England training camp in the UAE.
