MUMBAI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has sent its security incharge to England amid concerns over team safety in the upcoming Champions Trophy following the Manchester bomb attack.
“Neeraj Kumar, security incharge and consultant of BCCI’s anti-corruption unit, left for England on Tuesday,” said CK Khanna, acting president of the Indian cricket board.
“Kumar was anyhow supposed to travel with the team but had to go early after the attack,” he added.
“He will definitely go to the venues where India is scheduled to play and assess the security,” the official added.
A suicide bomb attack rocked Manchester on Monday, killing 22 people at the end of a concert by US pop star Ariana Grande at Manchester Arena.
