Overview
- Fast bowler Ali Khan publicly stated on Instagram that his India visa was denied less than a month before the tournament.
- Multiple reports say fellow USA players Shayan Jahangir, Ehsan Adil and Mohammad Mohsin are facing similar Indian visa hurdles, though no official confirmations have been issued.
- The USA are slated to play three Group A matches in India — in Mumbai and Chennai — which could rule affected players out of those fixtures if the issue persists.
- Neither USA Cricket nor the ICC has made a formal announcement, and reporting describes the situation as fluid as the ICC oversees the team’s operations during the board’s suspension.
- Media coverage notes comparable visa delays for Pakistan‑origin players from other associate nations such as the UAE, Oman, Italy and Canada, raising broader tournament logistics concerns.
