The Ministry of Home Affairs has approved the issuance of visas to 34 Pakistani players and officials to participate in the Blind Cricket World Cup, a ministry official said.
Earlier in the day, the Pakistan Blind Cricket Council (PBCC) in a statement claimed that its team did not get clearance from the Ministry of External Affairs in India.
“This unfortunate incident has left the Pakistan Blind Cricket Team in limbo,” the PBCC said in a statement.
PBCC said, “It strongly condemns this discriminatory act of India as sport should be above regional politics”.
Pakistan had finished second in the last T20 World Cup played for the blind.
The Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI) had also said that it would release an updated tournament schedule as the Pakistan team was not participating.
With the approval of the Pakistan team, the 12-day tournament will see seven teams compete for top honors.
Bangladesh, Australia, Sri Lanka, Nepal and South Africa are the other countries competing in this meet.
The matches will be played in Faridabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Indore and Bengaluru where the final will take place.
