The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has provided a further update regarding the progress in the visa process for players and support staff for the HBL Pakistan Super League, due to take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

A 25-member team traveling from India has been issued their visas to Abu Dhabi today. The Indian team mainly comprises of broadcasters and technicians.

Meanwhile, 26 out of 27 South Africans have also received their UAE visas. These include support staff and players like Faf Du Plessis, Herschelle Gibbs, David Miller, Rilee Rossouw, Cameron Delport, and Michael Smith.

On Tuesday, the PCB had to postpone its scheduled chartered flights to UAE to transfer players, officials, and support staff for the remaining matches of the PSL.

Two aircraft were earlier scheduled to leave from Lahore and Karachi on Wednesday to take 233 passengers to Abu Dhabi for the PSL. However, a late-night message by the board on Tuesday stated that the flight has now been delayed by 24 hours.

“Departure to UAE from Pakistan delayed by a day due to non-issuance of visas of all passengers,” a PCB official had said.
