The ICC today confirmed representatives of all teams participating in the ICC Champions Trophy 2008 in Pakistan have been invited to Dubai to receive a security briefing on Su
nday 20 July.The timing of the briefing was agreed upon during the ICC’s annual conference week, in early July, to allow the ICC’s security consultants to provide a comprehensive report of arrangements at the Asia Cup. This was not possible previously as that tournament was still ongoing.
Representatives of the ICC’s Broadcast Partner ESPN STAR Sports and the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations (FICA) have also been invited to attend.
Prior to the meeting the ICC will not indulge in speculation and, at this stage, the tournament will proceed in Pakistan, as scheduled.
It is anticipated that an ICC representative will be available for comment subsequent to the security briefing. Further details will be confirmed and released in due course.
