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.
