KARACHI: Pakistan will be unable to participate in Canada Cup kabaddi after only four members of the team were issued visas for next week's event.

The Pakistan Kabaddi Federation secretary, General Mohammad Sarwar expressed his disappointment at the unfortunate way the team was going to miss the event.

"The non-issuance of the visas is extremely disappointing. Pakistan has one of the world's best kabaddi teams and we were all looking forward to taking part in the Canada Cup and bringing laurels to the country," he said while talking to DawnNews.
