With just a few days left for the World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday raised concerns regarding \u201cextraordinary delays\u201d in the issuance of Indian visas for the national team with the International Cricket Council (ICC).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have written to ICC raising our concerns about inequitable treatment towards Pakistan and reminding them of these obligations towards the World Cup,\u201d PCB spokesperson Umar Farooq told Dawn.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a matter of disappointment that the Pakistan team has to go through the uncertainty ahead of the major tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n
Farooq said the board had been reminding the ICC about obligations for the last three years but it had all come down to the last two days with the national team\u2019s first warm game scheduled on September 29.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were forced to cancel our original plan to organise team-building exercises in Dubai on the way to India. We have had to rework our plan and book new flights, but these plans are subject issuance of visas,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
