Lahore: Pakistan's domestic Twenty20 champions the Lahore Lions received their Indian visas Monday, ending doubts over their participation in the Champions League as captain Mohammad Hafeez vowed to spread love across the border. Fielding a virtual Pakistan 'A' side, the Lions are set to depart Tuesday and will enter the four-team qualifying round in Raipur starting from September 13.
