New Delhi: Around 12 members of the World Championship-bound Indian team's departure to the United States yesterday got further delayed as some of them failed to get their passport back in time after getting the visa approval.

The entire contingent, with the exception of a 2-3 wrestlers, was supposed to leave tonight for Las Vegas for the September 7-12 competition, but about a dozen of them could not get their passports today because of some "miscommunication".
