T20 World Cup 2026: T20 World Cup is going to start from 7th February. But before that, the fate of 15 or more players coming to India has already been decided. These players are not from any one team but from different teams and there is a danger about their coming to India because they have connections with Pakistan. T20 World Cup 2026 is being organized from 7th February, in which 20 teams are participating. Now, among these 20 teams which do not have players of Pakistani origin, there is nothing to worry about, but for the teams in which players of Pakistani origin are regular members, difficulties seem to be increasing.
4 players of USA did not get visa
Due to bad relations, Pakistan team is not going to come to India in the first place. Bangladesh team is also refusing to come to India. But. Before coming to India, a problem appeared to arise for some other teams when the news of 4 players of USA not getting visa came. American pacer Ali Khan revealed in a post on social media that he has not got the visa to come to India.
At the same time, American cricket journalist Peter Della Pena also told in his post that apart from Ali Khan, three more players have not yet received visa for India, in which the names of Shayan Jahangir, Mohammad Mohsin and Ehsan Adil are named. It is being said that the visa applications of all these players have been rejected due to their Pakistan connections.
Suspense on arrival of 15+ players of these teams to India
Now if this is so, then what about the other teams in which many players are of Pakistani origin. The biggest problem will arise for the UAE team, in which 7 players including captain Mohammad Wasim were born in Pakistan. Apart from UAE, there are more than 15 players including England, Oman, Italy, Canada, Zimbabwe and Netherlands, who are regular members of their respective teams and who may face difficulty in getting visa for India. In such a situation, there is uncertainty over his participation in the tournament.
Teams sought help from ICC
The teams which are under threat due to India’s visa law have now sought help from ICC. If sources are to be believed, visa applications of players of all such teams have been submitted, but without intervention at the high level, it seems difficult to get approval on time. The teams are also apprehensive about hanging the sword on themselves, who are saying that if a solution is not found in time, then many key players will not be able to participate in the T20 World Cup, which may affect the class and quality of the tournament. Simply put, now this whole matter has become a big question for ICC, the answer to which it will have to find as soon as possible.
