ICC World Cup 2023: Zaka Ashraf to travel to India tomorrow

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee chairman Zaka Ashraf will travel to India tomorrow to witness Pakistan’s fixture against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 14 October.

Zaka Ashraf made the decision to travel to India after it was confirmed that the media personnel were given the go-ahead to submit their passports for an Indian visa to cover the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023.

“I have delayed my travel to India, and I am travelling tomorrow after receiving confirmation that Pakistan’s journalists have been asked to submit their passports to obtain visas to cover the mega event. I am happy that my conversation with the foreign office helped in achieving a positive development regarding the visa delay.
