Manchester: With the high-profile India v Pakistan World Cup match happening in his hometown, it was highly unlikely that British boxing superstar Amir Khan would give it a miss.

"I always come for any India-Pakistan contest. It is the only cricket match that I attend in England. The atmosphere is electric and I love coming here," Amir told mid-day yesterday as he made his way to the VIP box at Old Trafford with his glamorous wife Faryal Makhdoom and daughters Lamaisah and Alayna.
