With six days till the commencement of the biggest cricket event in the
world this year - the ICC Trophy in Canada - Nepal's participation has
been thrown into doubt. Newspaper reports from India today are saying that
four members of the Nepalese squad of fourteen have been denied visas by
the Canadian Embassy in New Delhi. No specific explanation was given for
the refusal to issue the visas, according to Nepalese Cricket Association
senior vice-president TV Shah. The Nepal captain Raju Khadka is one of the
players affected. Shah says he is attempting to get embassy officials to
overturn the decision, but with the team expected to leave for Canada on
Saturday, time is running out. The first matches in the 24-team World Cupqualifying competition will be played next Thursday.
