Cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan is also among the Pakistani guests expected to watch the much-awaited clash at the Eden Gardens.
“Our chairman (Shaharyar) is travelling to Kolkata for the match and so is Najam Sethi (executive committee chairman),” PCB media director Amjad Hussain said on Wednesday.
Former Pakistan captain Imran is also expected to be in attendance alongside Zaheer Abbas, who is the current ICC president.
For the record, Pakistan have never lost to India at the Eden Gardens while the hosts have never lost to Pakistan in the World Cup.
Pakistan on Wednesday kicked off their campaign with a 55-run win over Bangladesh but hosts India suffered a shocking defeat
to New Zealand on Tuesday night.
