IND Vs ENG: Before the opening match of the five-Test series against India starting from January 25, the England team has suffered a big blow. Pakistan origin spinner Shoaib Bashir will not be a part of England's playing 11 in the first test. England captain Ben Stokes has said that Bashir cannot be a part of the team in the first test due to visa problems. Bashir had to return to England. There is also a question mark over whether Bashir will be able to play in the remaining matches of the series or not.
England captain Ben Stokes is very angry with this whole incident. 20 year old Bashir was about to visit India for the first time. But due to visa problems, Bashir's dream of debut will not be fulfilled at the moment. Earlier, Usman Khawaja and Rehan Ahmed of Pakistani origin also had to face the problem of visa delay while visiting India during the World Cup.
Bashir faced trouble
Bashir's exclusion has become a cause of trouble for England. Bashir recently gave a brilliant performance while playing for England Lions and on the basis of that performance, he was called for the national team. Bashir could have proved to be England's trump card on a pitch conducive to spinners in India. But due to visa issues, Bashir will have to wait to fulfill his dream of playing against India.
Ben Stokes said, “Obviously this is not good.” I can understand what a young player is going through. All these things have a very bad effect. Your performance also deteriorates due to these activities happening outside the field. I am feeling very bad. This is a very bad situation for a young player.''
