Hockey New Zealand has decided to send the men's hockey team to the World Cup in India.
New Zealand's participation in the tournament was thrown into doubt last week after a group linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist network warned countries not to travel to the Delhi event, beginning on 28 February.
Countries have also been warned against attending cricket's Indian Premier League competition from March and the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi in October.
Hockey New Zealand chief executive Hillary Poole on Monday said she had assessed advice from the New Zealand Government and an independent security adviser reassuring her the required level of security is in place to keep the Black Sticks in the tournament.
Ms Poole said she has also been liaising with participating nations and all still plan to attend the World Cup.
All players from the Black Sticks will travel to Delhi except Simon Child, who has made a personal decision to return to New Zealand, she says.
The 21-year-old, who has more than a hundred caps, says the heightened security coupled with fatigue were not conducive to him playing his best hockey.
Coach Shane McLeod says he fully respects Child's decision, which will not affect his future prospects
Two security advisers from New Zealand will travel with the team which leaves Perth for India on Monday night.
Cricket security report raises concerns
The head of the Cricket Players Association says an independent security report on the Indian Premier League has raised significant concerns after terrorism threats were made against the tournament.
Heath Mills says the concerns involve threat assessment and India's ability to deliver aspects of the security management plan.
Mr Mills says those concerns have been communicated to players who share the association's concerns about travelling to India for the tournament in March.
He says it is hoped the IPL can work with the Indian authorities to alleviate some of the concerns.
