Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is still awaiting a positive response from their Indian counterparts on allocating tickets for thousands of fans keen on travelling to India to support their team.

Zakir Khan, Director Cricket Operations said today that the Indian board had not yet responded to reminders sent by the PCB on having a clear policy on allocation of tickets and issuance of cricket visas.

"We had asked them to allocate around 2,000 tickets for each match but till now they have assured us only 250 tickets for Pakistani spectators who can purchase the tickets through us," he said.

He said even these tickets were still to reach the board.

Another official in the board said they had told the Indian board that unless the Pakistani fans were able to purchase tickets they would face difficulties in obtaining a visa to travel to India.

"The visas are easier to get if you apply with a ticket in hand. But we are still awaiting a firm response from the Indian board," he said.
