Chief Zaka Ashraf to travel India on October 12 for India vs Pakistan match: PCB

PCB chief Zaka Ashraf will reach Ahmedabad on Thursday to watch his nation's marquee World Cup clash against India on Saturday after it was confirmed that Pakistani media personnel were given the go-ahead to submit their passports for procurement of visas to cover the global event.

Around 60 Pakistani journalists have applied for visas and further delays could well mean that they will miss the coverage of the marquee



match.

"I have delayed my travel to India, and I am traveling tomorrow after receiving confirmation that Pakistan's journalists have been asked to submit their passports to obtain visas to cover the mega-event," Ashraf said in a press release issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

"I am happy that my conversation with the foreign office helped in achieving a positive development regarding the visa delay," he added.
