Middlesex Cricket is extremely disappointed to announce that Jayant Yadav, who was scheduled to be making his debut for the Club today, has been unable to travel to the UK due to a delay in the issuing of his work visa.
The Club paid to expedite the application of Yadav’s visa and received confirmation from the UK Visa and Immigration Office on Friday 1st September that everything had been approved and issued.
The British Embassy however, in Delhi, did not release his travel documentation in time for the player to board the plane he was booked onto over the weekend.
We are extremely disappointed with the delay in Yadav’s passport being returned, which has led to him being withdrawn from the squad for this week’s match.
