Veteran Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz will know next week when he can leave England Again to participate in the inaugural tournament, The Hundred, the brainchild of the English Cricket Board.
Wahab was denied entry into the United Kingdom after arriving there without a valid work permit.
“My work permit number has been issued, but I will know by next week when I can go again if I get my proper work permit visa,” Wahab said.
The fast bowler, who is currently out of the Pakistan team, said that due to a misunderstanding over his visa, he got into trouble and was sent back from the airport.
Wahab was signed by the Birmingham Phoenix franchise as a replacement for Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Shaheen, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Amir were the Pakistani players signed for the tournament, but the first two are now unavailable due to national duty with the Pakistan team in the West Indies.
