Twenty20 World Cup: A cricket official from the United States has denied claims that four of their Pakistani-origin players have been denied a visa by India to travel to the country for the upcoming 2026 Twenty20 World Cup, saying the visa is delayed and not denied, a news report has claimed.

USA pacer Ali Khan had claimed in a video clip on social media that four Pakistani-origin players, including him, Shayan Jahangir, Mohammad Mohsin, and Ehsan Adil, have been refused visas to travel to India for the Men's 2026 T20 World Cup to be jointly hosted with Sri Lanka from February 7, the Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net) said in a report..

“I clarify that the visa issue is being handled by the USA cricket association, which is being run by the International Cricket Council (ICC), and it was erroneously conveyed by one player that the visa was rejected,” a USA official told www.telecomasia.net on condition of anonymity.
