England's Shoaib Bashir ruled out of first Test due to visa issues
According to The Guardian, England’s uncapped spinner Shoaib Bashir has flown back to England and been ruled out of the first Test against India in Hyderabad after a visa delay that prevented him from traveling to the country with his new teammates1. The 20-year-old, who is of Pakistani heritage, was unable to join the rest of the squad flying to India from a training camp in Abu Dhabi ahead of the series opener in Hyderabad starting Thursday following a delay with his visa application2. England captain Ben Stokes expressed his disappointment and said he is “devastated” for the Somerset off-spinner, who hopes to join up with the squad in India at the weekend1.
