Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh stepped in, as the Faisalabad Wolves was granted visa to play in the upcoming Champions League Twenty20 to be held later this month. The PM rejected the Home Ministry’s earlier assessment that Pak cricketers face security risk in India.
The government was determined not to create any hurdle in the Indo-Pak sporting ties. Faisalabad Wolves is led by Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq. The team emerged victorious in the national T20 Championship to qualify for the CLT20 2013.
