England’s Rehan Ahmed ran into visa issues on the team’s return to India from Abu Dhabi for the third Test of their five-match series after the legspinner was briefly stopped at Rajkot airport due to a “paperwork discrepancy.”
Reports in the Indian media said the 19-year-old, who is of Pakistani heritage, had a single-entry visa but the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said yesterday the player obtained a temporary visa and the correct one would be issued soon.
England won the first Test before India levelled the series 1-1 last week, after which the tourists had a mid-series break before the next Test which begins tomorrow. “We were advised, on returning to India, that there was paperwork discrepancy with Rehan Ahmed’s visa,” a spokesperson for the ECB said — SuperSport.
