A day before they begin their Champions League Twenty20 campaign, a relieved Faisalabad Wolves team finally checked-in at a city hotel in Chandigarh, from where they were asked to move to Mohali due to visa issues.
The Pakistan domestic champions had to spend last night at the Punjab Cricket Association stadium's clubhouse in Mohali as initially they were issued visa for only this Punjab town.
The team had a practice session at the PCA stadium and after getting clearance they left for the hotel in Chandigarh, a Union Territory, which is a common capital of both Punjab and Haryana.
"The team has been given visas for Chandigarh, meaning that they can now stay at the hotel and are free to travel within Chandigarh, where three other teams are putting up," PCA Joint Secretary, G S Walia said.
"The BCCI immediately took up the matter with Ministry of Home Affairs to rectify and added Chandigarh on the visa list. Yesterday being Sunday the action could be initiated late in the evening and Ministry of Home Affairs has taken appropriate decision and has done the needful. The Faisalabad Wolves have shifted to their designated hotel," Walia said.
The PCA stadium falls in Punjab and is located about 6 km from the hotel where the teams are putting up.
