Secretary of the Pakistan Kabbadi Federation, Muhammed Saroor said that participation in the Kabbadi Cup was not possible under these circumstances.
The Canadian Embassy said it did not issue the visas over fears that the players would not return to Pakistan.

The tournament will begin on Saturday and will feature eight teams.
