Saim Ayub will be among Pakistan's team at the T20 World Cup

Pakistan will take part in this month's men's T20 World Cup but will not play their scheduled match against tournament co-hosts India.

The country had been considering boycotting the competition after Bangladesh withdrew citing safety fears over travelling to India.

Political tensions also mean Pakistan and India have not faced each other outside men's major tournaments since 2013, while India have not played in Pakistan since 2008.

The sides are scheduled to play in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in accordance with an agreement signed last year stating that the two countries will play at neutral venues whenever one of them hosts an ICC event.
