The Bangladesh Daily Star reports Bangladesh all-rounder Nasir Hossian will not play in the match scheduled for May 12 as he was unable to obtain a visa. The paper suggests a match fee of $5000 was on offer. This, combined with the PCB’s refusal to approve the participation of seven players (Misbah ul Haq, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Muhammad Hafeez, Umar Akmal, Hammad Azam and Umar Gul), means the planned Asian XI appears to be eight players short.
