Mumbai sources have stated that the Board of Control for Cricket in India has raised concerns about the Indian team's security in England during the Upcoming ChampionsTrophy in the wake of the terrorist strike in Manchester with the International Cricket Council, acting secretary Amitabh Chaudhary said on Tuesday.
Chaudhary told reporters that "When he woke up, the first thing which he learnt was about these attacks. As soon as he was in the BCCI office we sent out a message raising our concerns about security of the Indian team's travel, accommodation and the playing (arena). Thankfully ICC has responded to it within two hours. They have been sensitized about our concern".
Chaudhary, when adding that the team's schedule remains
unchanged so far that obviously these attacks are in nature of terrorist
attack. This is something which can affect any individual on the planet. The
security concerns are that much more intense".
It was stated that these concerns are so overwhelming that the team does not have to come and show its concern. We are all concerned," he explained when asked whether the BCCI has been approached on the issue by any UK-bound squad member.
