Cricket fans brave weather

Pakistan Government will issue around 8,000 visas for the series

New Delhi: With the first Test match of the much-awaited series between India and Pakistan just three days away, cricket fever has gripped the two countries.

Die-hard Indian fans were seen on Tuesday making a beeline outside the Pakistani High Commission here to get visas for the first Test, beginning January 13.

People, who had come from several parts of the country, stood in line waiting patiently braving another chilly morning in Delhi. The Pakistani Government will issue around 8,000 visas for the coming series. Officials say 2000 more visas would be issued later to fans who had already purchased the tickets for the matches. — ANI
