The official announcement on Rohit travelling to Pakistan has not been announced, and there is no confirmation regarding the Indian captain travelling to the neighbouring nation.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are the hosts of this mega event. The Indian team will play all their matches in Dubai, which has been selected as the neutral venue for their matches, and the rest of the matches will be played in the host nation (Pakistan).

Dubai will host the three group-stage matches of India and one of the semifinals. The venue for the final depends on India’s performance in the event. If India manages to reach the final, it will also be held in Dubai otherwise Pakistan will hold the title decider.
