Venkatesh Prasad On ECB: England spinner Shoaib Bashir will not be able to play in the Hyderabad Test. Shoaib Bashir could not reach India due to visa related problems. This cricketer did not get visa clearance in Abu Dhabi, after which he had to return back to England. At the same time, now former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad believes that Shoaib Bashir had to face visa related problems due to the mistake of the England Cricket Board. This has been the old method of the British, there is nothing new in it. This has been happening before also.
Why did Shoaib Bashir have to return to England?
At the same time, the English media is blaming the Indian system. But there is no doubt that the fault lies with the England Cricket Board. Actually, Shoaib Bashir's passport was not stamped in Britain. After which he decided to do this work in UAE, but it did not happen. Since Shoaib Bashir has to come to India from England, UAE is the third country. Therefore, this is against the visa rules.
His visa needed to be stamped in the UK. The ECB sent Shoaib Bashir to the UAE, thinking it would be stamped in a third country.
Not following basic procedures, assuming things and then crying foul is an old English way.
If anyone, it is the ECB at fault. https://t.co/Fw8tG0XsD8— Venkatesh Prasad (@venkateshprasad) January 24, 2024
