* PCB has said in the statement that it is very sad that the Pakistani team has to go through these difficulties and that too at a time when it has to take part in the biggest tournament. PCB said that we had to make a complete change in our plan before the warm-up match. Because the players have not yet received permission to go to India.
Let us tell you that the Pakistan cricket team was to first stay in Dubai for a few days and then leave for India, but due to not getting the visa from India, the Pakistani team had to cancel the bonding plan and had to make the entire plan again. Let us tell you that Pakistan has to play its two warm-up matches and two opening league matches in Hyderabad only. In such a situation, the Pakistani team will come directly here.
