ICC says ‘no indication’ Pakistan v India will not go ahead

    The International Cricket Council says it has received “no indication” that a match between Pakistan and India at the World Cup this summer will not go ahead.

    The match at Old Trafford on 16 June is in doubt after a Pakistan-based militant group took responsibility for a suicide attack in Indian-administered Kashmir this month.

    There have been calls from some Indians for India to boycott the game.

    The ICC said: "We will be monitoring the situation with our members.

    "Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident.

    "Sport, in particular cricket, has the wonderful ability to bring people together and unite communities and we will work with our members going forward on this basis.

    "There is no indication that any matches at the World Cup will not go ahead as planned."
