Less than 48 hours left for departure, six CWG-bound cricketers await visa

New Delhi: Six members of the Indian women's cricket contingent are yet to get visa, less than 48 hours before their departure for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Women's cricket is making its debut at the Commonwealth Games. The Indian squad is currently training in Bengaluru and is scheduled to leave for Birmingham on Sunday.

The BCCI is in touch with the Indian Olympic Association on the issue.

"Few of the visas came in today but they are still six left for processing including three players and three players support staff," an IOA source said.

"The remaining should come by tomorrow. We have very little over control over the process anyway. There is summer rush and UK visas are taking time."
