If the delegation's report on the situation is positive, Pakistan's team will travel to India on Wednesday.
Pakistan expressed concern after the head of Himachal Pradesh state stated they could not provide security for the team, and that its high-profile match against India on March 19 should be moved to another state.
Pakistan are due to face a qualifier in their opening World Twenty20 game on March 16. Coverage of the game - if it goes ahead - will get underway on Sky Sports 2 HD at 9am.
