After failing to obtain the Indian government's approval for the team to travel to Pakistan, the Cricket Association for the Blind in India said on Wednesday that it is withdrawing the team from the fourth edition of the T20 Blind Cricket World Cup, which is set to take place in Pakistan.
"We have been told unofficially that the blind team will not be permitted to travel to Pakistan. We were scheduled to travel to Wagah border tomorrow. But as of now, no clearance has come from the ministry officials. So, we are a bit disappointed," Shailendra Yadav, General Secretary of the Cricket Association for the Blind in India , told Press Trust of India on Tuesday.
Currently, the blind cricket team remains in New Delhi, where they held a 25-day training camp prior to choosing their World Cup team.
