There’s high security for the Indian team, similar to what a head of state gets, due to their first visit in 60 years. The security team, led by Col Gul Rehman of PTF, ensures their safety with multiple security layers and constant surveillance.
The Indian group includes players, physios, and officials, who are given VIP treatment, including secure travel arrangements and strict access control to their venues.
