Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Zaka Ashraf will reach Ahmedabad on Thursday to watch their much-awaited World Cup clash against India on Saturday.
As reported by The Telegraph, his visit was confirmed after Pakistani media personnel were given the go-ahead to submit their passports for procurement of visas to cover the global event.
Around 60 Pakistani journlists have applied for visa and further delay could well mean that they will miss the marquee match.
“I have delayed my travel to India, and I am travelling tomorrow (Thursday) after receiving confirmation that Pakistan’s journalists have been asked to submit their passports to obtain visas to cover the mega-event,” Ashraf said in a press release issued by the PCB on Wednesday.
“I am happy that my conversation with the foreign office helped in achieving a positive development regarding the visa delay,” he added.
Ashraf also expressed happiness in the manner Pakistan team has performed so far.
