Dubai: English spinner Shuhaib Basheer is out of the first Test against India due to delay in visa process. Basheer, who was training with the English team in the UAE, returned home as he could not get a visa. It is known that the actor’s parents are of Pakistani origin, which made his arrival in India a setback. Earlier, Aussie opener Usman Khawaja and England A team member Saqib Mahmood were involved in the same problem. The first Test match between India and England will be played in Hyderabad on Thursday.
Shuaib Basheer suffered an unexpected setback while preparing to make his Test debut for England. The visitors were hoping that the presence of the young player would strengthen the Indian pitches that support the spin. The 20-year-old, who debuted in first-class cricket last June, is reaching the national team on the strength of his impressive performance in domestic cricket.
England captain Ben Stokes came out with a strong reaction to the star not being able to come to India due to the visa issue. It is disappointing for a player to be unable to play for a non-sporting reason. This is not the first time that such problems have arisen. Before this, many players were in such a visa entanglement. The team announced in the last week of December. Still, it is unfortunate that the visa process has not been completed, Stokes said.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma responded that Shuaib Basheer’s return is unfortunate and I am not in the visa office so I cannot give more details. Hope he gets it soon and can enjoy our country,” Rohit added in the pre-match press conference.
