Ahead of the ICC T20I World Cup 2026, a Pakistani-origin USA cricketer has been denied an Indian visa for the tournament. The ICC T20I World Cup 2026 is less than a month away, which is scheduled to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Taking to his Instagram handle, Khan shared a picture of himself claiming that his Indian visa was rejected and wrote, ''Indian visa denied but KFC for the win.'' Interestingly, there are at least eight teams participating in the upcoming T20 World Cup that have players of Pakistani origin. Notably, this is not the first time that overseas players of Pakistani origin have been denied an Indian visa.
