The Indian government has not yet issued visas to the Pakistan’s netball team, barring them from participating in the forthcoming 13th Asian Netball Championship.

It is to be noted that the Championship is set to kick off on October 18 in Bangalore, India.

In regard to this, the Pakistan’s Netball Federation (PNF) criticised the Asian and World Netball bodies over the exclusion of the national team.

In regard to this, the president of the PNF, Mudassar Arain revealed: “The visa applications were submitted three weeks ago, but no response has been received from the Indian authorities despite multiple reminders.”

It is worth noting that the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) granted a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the team.

In other news, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has also prepared a contingency plan to move the entire Champions Trophy out of Pakistan with South Africa, Sri Lanka and UAE explored as potential venues.

Currently, Pakistan’s cricket team is experiencing a rough patch, following a disappointing home series loss to Bangladesh with another heavy defeat against England.
