After a meeting involving all the players and Indian staff, a collective decision was taken not to travel to Iran for the match, a club official said.

The team members were to fly out of the country for Iran on Sunday morning, after the players were issued e-visas.

“All the six foreigners have declined to travel following travel advisories from their respective countries. The team management fully supports players’ sentiments and decision," the official said.
