The USA cricket team has suffered a major setback just before the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 to be held in India and Sri Lanka. Pakistan-born USA star fast bowler Ali Khan has revealed that his Indian visa has been rejected, meaning he will not be able to travel with the team for the tournament.
Visa problem has shaken the American camp before the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
The situation is even worse for the United States, as Ali Khan is not the only one who is having trouble getting an Indian visa for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026, starting on February 7. It is being said that the visa applications of Shayan Jahangir, Ehsaan Adil and Mohammad Mohsin have been rejected.

This worried the American camp as the T20 World Cup was around the corner and they were hoping to field a full-strength team. Ali is one of their key bowlers, so losing him can be a huge loss for the team. If these experienced players are unable to travel to India, it will be a major blow to USA’s chances of doing well in the showpiece event.
According to an Instagram story by USA’s Ali Khan, the fast bowler’s application for an Indian visa to travel with the USA for the T20 World Cup next month has been rejected. Shayan Jahangir, Ehsaan Adil and Mohammad Mohsin in the same boat. This would be a major blow to USA’s Super 8 chances. pic.twitter.com/3FNAJGAKMi
