Rohit Sharma on Shoaib Bashir
The skipper of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, responded to a journalist’s query over the delay in England’s young spinner Shoaib Bashir’s visa approval with wit and humor. Due to visa issues, Bashir was forced to remain in Abu Dhabi and missed the first Test match between India and England, which was set to take place on January 25. As a result, he had to return to the UK. At a pre-match press conference, Rohit Sharma showed sympathy for Sachin Bashir and acknowledged the frustration created by the postponement, all the while adding a lighthearted element to the conversation.
When questioned about Shoaib Bashir’s postponed entry into the nation, Rohit Sharma showed compassion for the young cricket player. Even though Bashir has already been ruled out of the first Test, he acknowledged the difficulties Bashir is facing as a result of being selected for the national squad for the first time and having trouble fitting in. Rohit joked that he doesn’t sit in the visa office to provide more information in response to a question concerning the specifics of visa clearance.
“I’m sorry for him. It’s his first time visiting with the England setup. None of it is simple. The same thing would happen if one of our soldiers were visiting England and their visa was refused. I’m sorry, but I don’t work in the visa office, therefore I can’t provide more information about that. However, I hope he can here soon, take in our nation, and play some cricket as well,” Rohit stated,
