After Shoaib Bashir, England spinner Rehan Ahmed faces Visa issue | India vs England

Weeks after Shoaib Bashir had to miss the 1st Test in Hyderabad and stayed back in Abu Dhabi due to visa delay, another England skipper Rehan Ahmed faced visa issue and was stopped at Rajkot airport on Monday.

He had a single entry visa to India and hence was stopped by the airport authorities while flying back from the UAE for the second time in the last 30 days. Rehan had trouble for more than 2 hours at Rajkot airport after possessing the wrong visa.

The England Cricket Board took prompt action and immediately processed the visa for the young leg spinner.

Since there was a 10-day gap between the 2nd and the 3rd Test, the English team decided to fly back to Abu Dhabi to spend some time with their family.

Both India and England will start training in Rajokt from Tuesday for the 3rd Test starting Thursday.

While England won the 1st Test, Indiabounced back in the 2nd Test in Vizag to level the series 1-1.
