DUBAI: International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive officer (CEO) Dave Richardson on Monday set the record straight in the face of oftentimes delusional reporting in the Indian media regarding India's playing arch-rivals Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup in the UK.

India are scheduled to take on Pakistan in a group game in Manchester on June 16.

The tie has come under the cloud following demands to boycott Pakistan at ICC's quadrennial mega event in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack in which 44 CRPF personnel were killed.
