Pakistan begin first India visit in seven years for ODI World Cup 2023

Pakistan's players undertook their most significant journey in years when they departed for the ODI World Cup in India.

There has been a lot of buzz around the Pakistan contingent ahead of the 50-over tournament that begins in Ahmedabad on October 5. Firstly, they delayed announcing their final squad until the eleventh hour, most likely to get the latest medical update on fast bowler Naseem Shah's injury.

After the list was eventually confirmed, they faced last-minute travel issues as their visas did not get processed in time for a pre-tournament camp in Dubai.

But on Tuesday night, all things fell into place as Pakistan began their travel to India, via the UAE. The travelling party will land in Hyderabad on Wednesday evening.
