Usman Khawaja left "stranded" in Australia due to visa issue as Aussie team leaves for India
Sydney: Australian batting star Usman Khawaja was on Wednesday left “stranded” in Australia as his teammates flew to India without him for the much anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Khawaja was left out of the group of players and staff members of the Australian team as he was denied a visa by India.
Pakistan-born Khawaja posted his ordeal on his social media handle with a comic picture. “Me waiting for my Indian Visa like … #stranded #dontleaveme #standard #anytimenow,” he posted.
It is understood Khawaja was the only player in the 17-man squad to be denied a visa after lodging the paperwork early last month.
Newcorp reports Khawaja’s visa was delayed by the Indian government, but that Cricket Australia hopes to have the ordeal resolved “soon”.
