Cheteshwar Pujara to miss first match for Sussex due to THIS reason!

Indian cricketer Pujara is now facing a visa issue like CSK player Moeen Ali.

The IPL series, which started on March 26 in India, is going on in full swing. So far 13 league matches have ended. The Rajasthan Royals are in the top of the table with 2 wins from three matches. Similarly, Sunrisers Hyderabad are in last place after losing 2 matches and CSK are in 9th position after losing all 3 matches they have played so far in this series.

Moeen Ali, an England player who was on the CSK squad, had a visa issue. He did not get a visa to come to India before the start of the IPL series. So he could not play in the first match against Kolkata. He then came to India to play in matches against Lucknow and Punjab.

Currently, Pujara, a leading player in the Indian team, is also facing a similar visa problem. The County Championship Series is set to take place in the UK. Pujara has been signed to play for Sussex. Pujara will next play in the upcoming Royal London Cup. Sussex will play their first match against Nottinghamshire on April 7.

Pujara, who had applied for a visa to travel to the UK to take part in the tournament, has yet to get a visa. The delay is said to be due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. In this case, he will join the Sussex team before the second match, the team management said. Pujara was part of the CSK team in the last IPL series.
