    ICC World Cup 2023: Still no Indian visa for Pakistani journalists

    The ICC Cricket World Cup has started today, but Indian authorities are yet to issue visas for Pakistani journalists. Indian visas are only issued for Pakistan Cricket team. Ramiz Raja and Zainab Abbas, who are joining as commentators, have been issued visas.

    This will be the first World Cup since 1975 in which no Pakistani journalist will be present in the press gallery.

    India has not yet issued a visa to any Pakistani journalist, while some Pakistani people who are associated with the ICC (International Cricket Council) have also not been issued visas. Pakistanis working in British media organizations are also not getting visas. It seems that until the Pakistan-India match on the 14th, Pakistani journalists will not get visas.
