The BCCI was unable to provide the Indian government with a letter of approval for the timely issuance of visas to the Pakistan team despite repeated reminders from the Pakistan Cricket Board. However, a BCCI representative who attended the ICC virtual meeting a few weeks ago mentioned having positive discussions with their government.
The ICC has provided the BCCI until April 30 to provide written confirmation from the Indian government that visas will be issued to the Pakistan team. The assurance letter is expected to be sent to the ICC within the next few days. The Pakistan cricket team, led by Babar Azam, will have no trouble traveling to India for the ICC World T20 in October, as the Indian government has agreed to issue visas to players from the neighboring country.
The BCCI president, Jay Shah, is said to have notified the Apex Council of the government's decision to grant visas to Pakistani players. India and Pakistan have not played bilateral series for many years now due to political tension between the two countries.
