With several members of the West Indies and India national cricket teams unable to travel to Florida, USA, for the remainder of the T20I series due to visa issues, the intervention of President Irfaan Ali ensured that members of the sides arrived on local shores for the considerations of the US Embassy.
This was disclosed by an official release from the Guyana Cricket Board. According to the correspondence, several cricketers from both squads did not possess the requisite US visas to travel, which prompted the Cricket West Indies (CWI) to file for interviews with the local embassy in Georgetown.
