Pakistan cancel pre-World Cup Dubai trip due to visas delay
PCB confident team will be able to travel to Hyderabad ahead of warm-up game against New Zealand

Pakistan's plans for a pre-World Cup team-bonding trip to Dubai have been cancelled as the team was still awaiting visas to travel to India as on Friday.
The Pakistan squad was due to fly to the UAE early next week and stay for a couple of days before flying to Hyderabad, ahead of their first warm-up game against New Zealand on September 29. Instead, Pakistan now plan to fly out of Lahore to Dubai early next Wednesday and fly to Hyderabad from there. Although one official said the situation was "alarming", there does appear to be general confidence that the visas will arrive in time for Pakistan to travel. The application for visas is understood to have been made over a week ago.
As of now, ESPNcricinfo understands, Pakistan are the only one - of nine sides traveling to India for the World Cup - still awaiting visas. The delay does highlight the complex and tense political backdrop against which the team is traveling to India. Travel between the two countries for citizens on either side is extremely limited because obtaining visas is an arduous and often fruitless process.
Anything musical or needing creativity is garbage out of India...Not like wc anthem its garbage
I hope these hindutiva cucks of Pakistan don't get the visa, would serve them right.,..,.
Pakistan yet to get their visas less than 48 hours before flying out to India
The PCB has written to the ICC asking about possible steps to deal with the inequitable treatment

The PCB has expressed its displeasure to the ICC over the delay in the Pakistan team obtaining visas for travel to India for the World Cup, and warned of the adverse impact it could have on Pakistan's preparation for the tournament. The team is scheduled to fly out early morning on Wednesday, but the visas had still not been issued to the squad as of close of working hours on Monday.
The Pakistan board has been in contact with the ICC about the matter, but on Monday, less than 48 hours before the team's scheduled departure and with no visas in hand, it has written to the ICC, saying that such inequitable treatment to Pakistan - they are the only traveling team without visas at the moment - would not be accepted.
The PCB has asked the ICC about the steps the global body is taking to resolve the situation, as well as whether written guarantees had been provided by the hosts - the BCCI, in this case, or the Indian government - that visas would be provided to all participating nations.
As things stand, Pakistan are due to fly out to Dubai in the early hours of Wednesday (September 27), transit there, and then arrive in Hyderabad on Wednesday evening. They are scheduled to play their first warm-up game on Friday, against New Zealand.
