No change in Test venues for Australia series: Shukla

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 IANS

New Delhi, Sep 28 (IANS) Saturday's bomb blast here has not forced either the Indian cricket board or its Australian counterpart to take a fresh look at the four Test venues and the tour will ago ahead as scheduled.

 

'The Australians have not raised with the Indian board the issue of security or sought any changes in the tour itinerary,' Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) spokesman Rajeev Shukla told IANS.

 

 

About the Home ministry's advisory Sunday to all the states and union territories to tighten security, Shukla said he would be meeting the union Home secretary Tuesday to discuss the matter and provide board's inputs in making security fool-proof at all the four Test venues, three of which had been targets of terror attacks in recent months.

 

 

'To be fair to Cricket Australia or the team management, now in Jaipur, they did not complain or sought any assurance from the board on the security steps in place. Still, the security can be beefed up to their satisfactory level, but no venues will be changed,' said Shukla.

 

 

Two of the venues, Bangalore and Delhi, have been the targets of bomb blasts.
