Sydney, Jun 12 (PTI) An Indian lawn bowls team was denied visa to come here on a training trip as immigrations officials were not convinced about the players' financial capacity to support their stay in the country.
The 16 players and a trainer were supposed to land here today after being invited to play at St Johns Park Bowling Club in western Sydney as part of a training programme for the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi this October.
But immigration officials in Delhi were not convinced about the team's financial capacity to pay for the stay.
"Consideration was given to each applicant's reasons for visiting Australia, their financial capacity and their incentives to return to their home country," an immigration spokesman was quoted as saying by 'The Age'.
