Indian blind cricket team denied govt permission to play T20WC in Pakistan
The blind cricket team got a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Sports Ministry, but the Ministry of External Affairs did not permit them to travel to Pakistan.
While speaking to India Today, Sailendra Yadav, general secretary of the Indian blind cricket association, said:
“We were waiting for the last 25 days to get permission from the government to go to Pakistan. Now we can’t wait any longer as the tournament is about to begin. When I talked with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on the phone then they told us that we wouldn’t be getting any permission to go to Pakistan and we could cancel your tournament. They also told us that we would be getting an official letter of denial as well. However, we haven’t got any official letter yet but based on our conversation with the Ministry of External Affairs we’ve decided not to go to Pakistan and we will not participate in the Blind T20 World Cup.”
