Usman Khawaja is a cricketer of Pakistani descent who was born in Pakistan but moved to Australia at a young age. In 2019, Khawaja, who was then the captain of Queensland Bulls in the Sheffield Shield, was set to play for Queensland in a match in India. However, he was denied a visa by the Indian government.
According to reports, the Indian government cited "diplomatic tensions" between India and Pakistan as the reason for denying Khawaja's visa. It is not uncommon for governments to deny visas to individuals for various reasons, including political tensions, security concerns, and other reasons.
Whether it was right or wrong for India to deny Khawaja's visa is a matter of opinion, and opinions may vary depending on various factors, including one's understanding of the reasons behind the decision. However, it is important to note that governments have the right to make decisions on visa applications based on their own policies and considerations.
