Guest Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Cricket Australia confirmed to CNN-IBN that they will review security after the serial blasts last evening and consult with the Australian government. They will also speak with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Peter Young, the spokesperson for Cricket Australia told CNN-IBN that there will be no changes in the schedule of Australia's tour to India as long as the security of their team is taken care of. The bomb blasts here on Saturday, which claimed lives of more than 20 people so far and injured more than 100, have put Australia's tour to India in severe danger. Australia are scheduled to play four Tests in India, beginning early next month. "Our basic principle is safety of the team. We will be talking to security experts, Australian High Commission and the BCCI. We will evaluate the reports they give. Well, so far the tour is on unless we get any reports, we are progressing with our plans to go ahead," Young said. According to reports, Australia's team security manager Reg Dickason will be asked to compile an urgent report on the security situation in India. Dickason will work with the Australian Cricketers' Association and CA General Manager of Cricket Michael Brown who has been assigned the job to speak to the Indian Cricket Board, the Australian High Commission in New Delhi and security agencies to gain information on travelling to India.
