Zimbabwe coach, Lalchand Rajput denies visiting Pakistan on Indian government orders

Zimbabwe head coach, Lalchand Rajput, who has an Indian nationality, has been stopped by the Indian High Commission for the Zimbabwe tour of Pakistan. Although the national cricket team has reached Islamabad, they are missing on their HC who was all set to travel with them.

On the one hand, Pakistan issued authority to him so he could have visited Pakistan with the utmost security and no hatred but on the other hand, India, following their political tensions, denied Lalchand to voyage.
