'Visa issue require to be addressed'

RP Singh

RP Singh, who has been named as a substitute for Zaheer Khan, is yet to reach England due to a delay in obtain the visa and captain Dhoni is not amused.

Zaheer Khan is one of the three Indian players ruled out of the outstanding England tour due to a right hamstring and ankle wound. The other two are Harbhajan Singh (abdominal strain) and Yuvraj Singh (finger fracture).

India skipper MS Dhoni, though, recommended a quick-fix so that similar delays due to visa don't happen again in future.

"If we can organize visas for all 30 contracted cricketers for all the major nations (where India normally tour), this problem could have been avoid. That would mean anyone could fly in as a substitute or alternate at any given time," Dhoni told a leading daily.

The BCCI, in spite of having full a reserve list to the British High Commission, couldn't organize a visa for Singh, which adds to the agony of the Indian team that is having a horror time in England, down 0-2 in the four-match Test series.

Singh is predictable to arrive in England later on Thursday.
