South African cricket team’s Indian performance analyst, Prasanna Agoram’s contract with the Proteas has come to an end that is why he did not travel to Pakistan.
Earlier, Indian media, true to form, once again tried to politicize sports and claimed that the Pakistan High Commission in South Africa had denied the visa request of Prasanna Agoram ahead of South Africa’s visit to Pakistan on the pretext of “security concerns.”
