World Cup: Pak players' visas for India cleared

Pakistan could be required to play their quarterfinal in Ahmedabad or the semifinals or final in India if they qualify for these matches.
The PCB had, in a preemptive move, submitted applications for visas for the entire squad and other board officials to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad for clearance at an early stage.
"The Indian commission has cleared the issuance of visas for our team and that means that we will face no issues playing in India if we qualify for those matches," a board official said.
Pakistan team has not played in India or any bilateral series with the Indians since the Mumbai terror attacks in November 2008 but the PCB is pushing the BCCI and the ICC to pave the way for resumption of bilateral ties at least at the neutral venues.
