CSK’s Moeen Ali to miss opening tie against KKR

Moeen Ali

Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will miss the services of Moeen Ali for their IPL-opener against Kolkata Knight Riders as the England all-rounder is yet to receive his India visa for competing in the T20 tournament.

"They follow set procedures for players with Pakistan descent. That looks like the reason [for delay]," CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan told PTI. His grandfather migrated to England from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, but Moeen is born in England and is a frequent visitor to India.
