ICC says no indication India vs. Pakistan World Cup match will not go ahead

The International Cricket Council says there is “no indication” the World Cup match between India and Pakistan in Manchester will not go ahead.

The match 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 at Old Trafford.

“We will be monitoring the situation with our members,” the ICC said.

“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.”
