A Indian crew of 29 members who were part of the PSL broadcasting team is currently left stranded in Pakistan as they were denied entry from the Attari border.The confusion arose from the fact that the crew members had visas which gave them permission to travel by air and not foot. But given the urgency of the situation, authorities in Pakistan permitted the crew to go by the border route back to India. However, upon reaching the border transit, authorities on Indian side denied them entry.

A spokesman from the PCB said, “The Indian officials will come back to Pakistan on Thursday as they have multiple visas and then their air travelling plan would be chalked out again for them to go back to their country.”The team is currently back in Pakistan and the authorities are trying to arrange air travel. The novel coronavirus has infected close to 300 people in Pakistan leaving one person dead. The Pakistan Super League was cancelled on Tuesday due to the rising cases of coronavirus in the country. Moreover, a number of foreign players left the tournament midway due to the scary situation in the country.
