ECB expert to inspect Chennai today

New Delhi, Dec. 2: The England and Wales Cricket Board’s security expert Reg Dickason will make a recce of the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday and visit Mohali on Thursday before submitting his report which will determine whether England will return to play the two-Test series in India.

A top Board of Control for Cricket in India source said that Dickason will inspect the stadium and hotel and discuss various issues with security agencies during his day-long visit to Chennai.

He will then proceed to Mohali, the venue of the second cricket Test, and undertake a similar exercise.

The sources said that Dickason will also have detailed discussion with top BCCI officials regarding the security arrangements at the venues for the series. Dickason was with the England team which returned home abruptly abandoning the last two ODIs following the Mumbai terror attacks. He has been assigned to submit a comprehensive report to the ECB, which will then determine the fate of the series.

The source said that the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association has already got an assurance from the police authorities that fool-proof security will be provided for the match in Chennai.

"The ECB has not sought a letter of guarantee from the police authorities. But we have got the police assurance that fool-proof security will be provided," the source said.

The source said that Punjab Cricket Association will also discuss the security arrangements with the city police authorities soon. — PTI
