The Pakistan team had initially decided to skip the match in solidarity with Bangladesh, which exited the tournament after the ICC rejected its request to shift venues outside India due to “security concerns”. The row began after BJP politicians and Hindutva rightwing groups cited killings of Hindus in Bangladesh, and objected to IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, owned by actor Shah Rukh Khan, contracting a Bangladeshi player.Meanwhile, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi, also a minister in the Shehbaz Sharif government, will attend Sunday's match and is expected to hold discussions with ICC officials on the sidelines, news agency PTI reported.
