"The team of six players, support staff and coach will be going to Pakistan. I will also go along with the team. We will be putting in the visa application for everyone. Pakistan's hockey team traveled to India for the World Cup and now we are also going.
The two nations were drawn together in the Davis Cup but, following the Pulwama attack by a Pakistan-based militant ground that killed more than 40 Indian soldiers on February 14, it was believed that the Indian team would not consider making a trip across the border to fulfill the fixture.
India's cricket team's last tour of Pakistan took place back in 2007 and no team from any sport had toured the country since.
The fixture would represent the first time the two nations had met in Davis Cup competition since 2006, with India playing host to Pakistan and defeating them 3-2 to extend their unbeaten head-to-head record to 6-0.
