A two-member team of Pakistani officials reached India today for assessing the security arrangements for World T20 match to be played between India and Pakistan in Dharamsala on March 19.

The Pakistani team, headed by Director Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Usman Anwar and comprising Pakistan Cricket Board official Ajam Khan, crossed over to India via the land transit route of Attari-Wagah border of Punjab.

The moment the duo crossed over and went for Custom Immigration clearance, they were stopped briefly owing to some technical issues pertaining to their visa, officials said.

They had crossed over to India around 10.00 a.M in the morning, but were allowed to continue their journey around 1.30 p.M for Dharamsala after permission from Delhi, the officials said.
 

The team is expected to meet Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and police chief of Dharamsala.

They will submit report to Pakistani Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan and PCB officials.
