Pakistan will come into the contest, as hungry as ever, after losing the Tri-Nation series final to New Zealand not long ago at the same venue.
The defending champions will look to start their campaign on a winning note, in front of their home crowd. The tournament is also the very first time since 1996 that Pakistan will host an ICC event.
"Amit Rohidas was suspended for one match for a breach of the FIH Code of Conduct which occurred during the India vs Great Britain match on August 4," a FIH official statement read.
On the other hand, New Zealand look like a super balanced unit, and come into the campaign opener as strong favourites to qualify from Group A.
The Kiwis have a few injury concerns with Ben Seans and Lockie Ferguson being ruled out of the competition.
