The Sports Ministry has asked the External Affairs Ministry for help in obtaining a visa for tennis star Sania Mirza's two-year-old son to accompany her to England for a series of tournaments ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.
Sania will play in the Nottingham Open (beginning June 6), Birmingham Open (beginning June 14), Eastbourne Open (beginning June 20), and Wimbledon (from June 28).
Sania was given a visa, but her son and his caretaker were not, due to new travel restrictions imposed on Indians as a result of an increase in coronavirus cases in India.
