PSL franchise head coach Dean Jones deported from Islamabad airport

Newly-appointed head coach of Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Islamabad United, Dean Jones, was deported early Sunday morning soon after he landed at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad.
An official told The Express Tribune, Jones did not have a valid Pakistani visa or relevant documents authorising his stay in the country.
Jones, the former Australian Test batsman was due in the city to prepare for his team’s participation in the players draft for the league that takes place in Lahore on Monday and Tuesday. But the 54-year-old was forced to return to Dubai, from where he had left for Islamabad due to invalid travel documents.“Dean Jones was deported back by the same flight to the port of origin,” a FIA official said.
Jones is expected to fly back to Islamabad tonight after top PCB and Islamabad United officials intervened to get his travel documents sorted, the official added.
However, the former Australian cricketer denied he was reported saying, “My paperwork for Pakistan visa wasn’t complete due to recent change in visa policy. I have a visa.”Jones played 52 Tests and 164 one-day internationals for Australia between 1984 to 1994 and is currently a widely travelled cricket commentator.
Jones also landed in trouble in 2006 during a series in Sri Lanka when he described South African batsman Hashim Amla, a Muslim, as looking “like a terrorist” due to his long beard.
