Bashir’s Dream Of Debut Has Been Postponed:-

Usman Khawaja, Rehan Ahmed, and even the entire Pakistan team in the World Cup had to face similar delays, highlighting the ongoing political tension in the cricket world. Shoaib Bashir’s dream of debut has been postponed due to visa-related problems.

This is a double blow for Shoaib Bashir, who impressed everyone with his stellar performance at the Lions Training Camp and earned a place in the Test team.

He played the match with full dedication to showcase his spin magic on the turning pitches of the subcontinent. But, the visa delay took away this golden opportunity from him.

THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS!

England fans – we need you. India can be a tough place to go.

But Stokes & McCullum's men are going to do the business.

Demanded To Give Visa To The Player As Soon As Possible:-

Due to Shoaib Bashir not getting a visa, he is currently staying in UAE. ECB has sought help from BCCI in this regard and has demanded to grant a visa to the player as soon as possible.

The ECB has expressed hope that the player will get the visa by this evening. Due to Shoaib Bashir not getting the visa, all the other England players reached India on Sunday itself, but Shoaib is still stuck in UAE.

When a user named Jayesh Ande said that the player did not get the visa, being a Pakistani now seems no less than a crime.
