Previously, the Blind T20 World Cup 2022–2023 was delayed because India failed to fulfil its agreement to grant Pakistan’s team the necessary visas.
The spectacle supposed to begin in Delhi was postponed because of concerns about Pakistan’s involvement.
Sultan Shah, the president of the World Blind Cricket Council (WBCC) and chairman of the Pakistan Blind Cricket Association (PBCA), said that the Indian foreign ministry had not issued a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) for visas.
