The Pakistan cricket team, led by Babar Azam, will have no hurdles in travelling to India for the ICC World T20 in October as the government is set to issue visas to the players from the neighbouring nation.

According to a report carried by IndiaToday, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah has informed the Apex Council about the government’s decision on giving visas to the Pakistan players.

“The visa issue of Pakistan cricket team has been sorted. However whether the fans can travel across the border to watch matches is still not clear,” an Apex Council member told Press Trust of India on terms of anonymity, according to the report.

The official added that the matter will be decided in due course. “However we had promised ICC that it will be sorted,” the official said.

Due to rising political tensions in the past years, Pakistan and India have not yet had a bilateral series.

The BCCI has also zeroed in on nine venues where World T20 will be held with Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium hosting the final.

The other venues are Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Dharamsala.
