PM steps in, Faisalabad Wolves set to get visas to play in Champions League T20

Pakistani cricket team Faisalabad Wolves, initially denied a visa to participate in the Champions League Twenty20 tournament this month, is now set to get the travel document at the personal intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, it is reliably learnt.

The decision comes weeks ahead of Singh's meeting with Pakistan's new Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.



Sources close to the Prime Minister Office (PMO) told The Indian Express that the Prime Minister has overruled the Home Ministry's earlier assessment that Faisalabad Wolves faced a security risk in the country. There was apprehension that if the Wolves worked their way up in the tournament, they would be playing at different cities across India. Intelligence agencies questioned whether state governments would be able make arrangements on the go.

But the mood at the highest level of governance is not to allow anything come in the way of renewed confidence-building measures, it is learnt. The team is set to get their visas today.
