• Match to go ahead in Sri Lanka on Sunday

• Government made decision after negotiations

Pakistan are poised to fulfil their T20 World Cup fixture against India on Sunday, having pre­viously been instructed by their government to boycott the game in a move that could have cost the sport millions.

The crisis was triggered by ­Bangladesh withdrawing from the tournament last month – their place handed to Scotland – when a request to play their matches outside India on security grounds was rejected by the International Cricket Council.
