NEW DELHI, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Visas have been issued for the Pakistan team for their participation in the 50-overs World Cup in India, the governing International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Monday, following complaints of a delay in the process.
"Visas have been issued to the Pakistan team," an ICC spokesperson told Reuters without elaborating further.
"There has been an extraordinary delay in getting clearance and securing Indian visas for the Pakistan team for ICC World Cup," Farooq said in the statement.
"It's a matter of disappointment that Pakistan team has to go through the uncertainty ahead of the major tournament."
Pakistan will play two warm-up matches before beginning their World Cup campaign against the Netherlands on Oct. 6.
