A statement from the consulate said, Mr Khawaja’s visa application was originally submitted with incomplete and incorrect documentation. This has since been rectified by Mr Khawaja, and his visa application is now under process.”
Khawaja, the first Muslim to play for Australia, was granted his Indian visa Wednesday, the New South Wales Cricket Board said in a statement.
On Tuesday, Khawaja complained on Twitter that India's visa department was refusing him entry.
Cricket Australia confirmed the delay, but said the problem was a bureaucratic one and nothing to do with his country of birth or religion.
Cricket New South Wales, the team for which Khawaja would compete in CL T20, completed the process following intervention from Indian-born chairman Dr Harry Harinath.
