Cricket sources have confirmed that multiple national teams have taken major decisions regarding travel to India for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
According to reports, the Pakistan cricket team will not travel to India for the tournament. Meanwhile, the Bangladesh team has officially refused to tour India as well.
In another significant development, the United States government denied Indian visas to four cricketers of Pakistani origin who are part of the USA squad. The decision has raised concerns among international cricket officials.
Despite these setbacks, more than 15 Pakistan-born players are still available across several participating teams. These players represent Canada, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Netherlands, Italy, and Zimbabwe.
The growing visa and travel complications have placed pressure on the tournament organizers. Officials are now working on alternative arrangements to ensure smooth participation from all qualified teams.
Cricket fans around the world continue to follow the situation closely as the countdown to the global event continues.
