LONDON: England bowler Shoaib Bashir’s arrival in India for the five-match Test series has been delayed by visa issues, head coach Brendon McCullum said on Monday.
Bashir, who is of Pakistani heritage, is one of three uncapped players named in the England squad for the upcoming series, which kicks off in Hyderabad on Thursday.
“He’s got a couple of issues with his visa coming through… we’re confident on the back of the help from the (Indian cricket board) and the Indian government that it will sort itself out pretty quickly as well,” McCullum told reporters. (Reuters)
