The Pakistan cricket team is all set to fly to India for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 after the Indian High Commission on Monday (September 26) granted their visas.

Babar Azam-led side will travel to the neighbouring country for the 45-day show-piece event later this week as the squad looks to get some preparation under their belt ahead of the warm up fixtures. The visa issue reportedly disrupted Pakistan's preparations for the World Cup.

The 18-member squad, including the travelling reserves, was scheduled to hold a two-day training camp in Dubai ahead of its warm-up game, but will now have to make do with whatever time they get when they arrive in India.

Pakistan head into the tournament on the back of a disappointing Asia Cup 2023, where they exited in the Super Four stage. Some injury issues also delayed the squad announcement for the World Cup as pacer Naseem Shah was ruled out of the tournament.

Now, with the squad finalized and visas granted, we take a look at when Pakistan will arrive in India, where they will train and play their warm up matches and how to watch them in action:
