Australia's Test squad took staggered flights to the subcontinent on Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of the first Test scheduled to begin in Nagpur on February 9.Every member of the 18-man squad has been cleared to enter India bar Pakistan-born Khawaja, who also faced visa challenges when he tried to enter the country in 2011.
On that occasion, Khawaja took to social media to vent his frustration he had not been permitted to enter the country as an Australian because he was not born in Australia. This time, he took a more relaxed approach on social media, writing: "Me waiting for my Indian Visa like …" alongside a picture of a man on a swing, with the hashtags "stranded", "dontleaveme", "standard" and "anytimenow".
