MEA denies permission for Blind T20 World Cup participation. Yadav revealed that the MEA had asked them to withdraw from the tournament, which is due to be held between November 2

The Indian blind cricket team reportedly failed to get clearance from the government to participate in the upcoming T20 World Cup for the Blind in Pakistan. As a result, the team has withdrawn from the competition.

The chief of Pakistan’s blind cricket association said on Tuesday that the T20 Blind World Cup would take place in the country even without the Indian team amid reports from Indian media that the team was pulled out of participating in the tournament.

The Indian media reports said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government had not given the no-objection certificate (NOC) to the Indian blind team for the tournament.

The Indian blind cricket team's participation in the T20 World Cup in Pakistan is uncertain. The government has not granted the team permission to travel due to security concerns, despite the tournament starting on November 23rd.

Sailendra Yadav, general secretary of the Indian blind cricket association, speaking to India Today, confirmed that the government denied nod for the team to travel to Pakistan, which will host the Blind T20 World Cup from November 23.
