Now a responsible official of ‘USA Cricket’ has given a statement on this entire matter. He clarified that Ali Khan’s visa has not been rejected, but it is only being delayed.
He explained that since Ali Khan is of Pakistani origin, his visa process was bound to take a little longer than usual. This is a standard procedure and there is nothing to panic or drama about. The officer completely denied Ali Khan’s viral claim.

According to reports, the visa process is still ‘in-process’. This means there is still hope. Ali Khan was one of the select American players to put his name in the IPL auction. Now it will be interesting to see whether they are able to come to India after completing the paperwork or not.
