Pakistan allows squad to compete in T20 World Cup in India

Islamabad: The Pakistan government on Thursday allowed its cricket team to play the ICC World T20 in India.

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan had earlier this month raised doubts over the team’s participation, saying there were specific threats from activists who forced the cancellation of a meeting between cricket officials from both countries in Mumbai last October.

On Thursday, Khan said, “As a duty of care, we have asked ICC to put in place special arrangements for the Pakistan cricket team while in India. We will also be expecting visa facilitation and other arrangements for the Pakistani fans wishing to visit India,” he added.
