"There is no problem. The match will go ahead at the Ferozeshah Kotla ground in Delhi as planned," said Cricket board vice-president Rajiv Shukla.

"There are no obstacles now."

Doubts arose about the match, the sixth and final one-dayer on Pakistan's current Indian tour, on Thursday when local cricket officials refused to host the game saying security and municipal requirements were too stringent.

Caught in a bind with barely 16 days before Musharraf is due to visit, the Indian government closed ranks and moved to ensure the match was held in New Delhi.

"Everyone has begun to co-operate now. I am getting positive signals from the authorities that we will host the match," Arun Jaitley, president of the Delhi and District Cricket Association, told reporters.

It was Musharraf's high-profile visit on an invitation from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that the DDCA was banking on after municipal authorities refused permission to stage the match at a stadium still under construction.

The historic Kotla, one of the oldest Test venues in India, was razed to the ground two years ago to build a state-of-the-art 50,000-capacity stadium, but delays in construction and laying a new pitch frustrated officials.
