England's preparations for their upcoming white-ball series in India have been disrupted by a visa delay affecting Saqib Mahmood. The pace bowler was set to attend a training camp in Abu Dhabi but has been forced to miss it due to the issue. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is working to resolve the matter before the team travels to Kolkata, with the expectation that Mahmood will join his teammates soon. The delay may impact Mahmood's chances of featuring in the series, which is scheduled to take place in India. Key players like Mahmood are crucial for England's success in the limited-overs format.
