Aussies tour on track

Agencies, undated
Australia's Test squad still plans to depart for India on Sunday despite increased fears over security following deadly bomb attacks in New Delhi on Saturday.
A day after deciding to review its high-profile cricket tour to India following the serial blasts, Cricket Australia on Monday made it clear that the tour will go ahead as per schedule.
Cricket Australia's general manager of public affairs Peter Young said CA would listen to the Australian government's advice but said the team under Ricky Ponting would depart on September 21, as originally scheduled.
"Our position is that the tour is going ahead unless we are otherwise persuaded," Youngsaid.
"Our advice is there are some concerns and to exercise caution, but currently they do not compromise the tour. Our plan is to depart on September 21. subject to our advice," he added.
The Australian government, meanwhile, made it clear that they would only pass on security advices but the final decision would rest with the cricket board itself.
"We will do what we do with Cricket Australia whenever they arc looking at a difficult tour...We will provide them with all our up-to-date travel assessments and advice briefs," Foreign Minister Stephen Smith told'Sky Sports'.
"And they are also, as I understand it, getting their own independent security advice. In the end it's for Cricket Australia to make a decision, which is how we have dealt with the proposed Pakistan Test tour and the proposed Champions Trophy," the ministersaid.
Cricket Australia officials were due to meet with representatives from the Australian government's department of foreign affairs on Monday afternoon to receive an update on the safety situation in India.
Michael Brown, CA's general manager of cricket, will also receive a report on Tuesday from Reg Dickason, the team's security advisor, but a spokesman said there had been no change to the schedule for the four-Test series.
"Our position is that the tour is going ahead unless we are otherwise persuaded," Peter Young, Cricket Australia's general manager of public affairs, told Cricinfo. "Our advice is there are some concerns and to exercise caution, but currently they do not compromise the tour. Our
plan is to depart on September 21 subject to our advice."
Australia have scheduled warmup games in Jaipur and Hyderabad, where bombs have gone off over the past year, before heading to Bangalore, where one person was killed in attacks in July, for the opening Test on October 9. While Cricket Australia will continue to discuss the issue with their security advisers, the government and the Indian board, more information on the situation in the country is available from members of the AustraliaAsquad.
The outfit is currently in Hyderabad, 1500km south of New Delhi, for a one-day tri-series and the first match will be against New Zealand A on Monday. Young said the team wanted to stay and play.
"In consultation with the BCCI, we have upgraded security in and around the dressing rooms and they will have an escort to the ground," Young said. "They have also been told not to leave the hotel without good reason. It’s just a matter of prudence." The squad is travelling with a security advisor who is part of Dickason's team.
The Australian Cricketers' Association does not believe the danger in India is as bad as in neighbouring Pakistan, but Paul Marsh, the chief executive, said he

expected "heat" if Australia toured. "If the team stays in India, there might be some who criticise us for double standards," he told the Sydney Morning Herald. "But people need to understand our starting point is that we always want to tour.
"We go to extreme lengths to obtain the best advice on the situation of each country we visit. In Pakistan's case this year, people we rely on told us not to tour. If they say not to tour again, we'll listen. Bombs going off anywhere are a concern."
More than 20 people were killed in the explosions in New Delhi, which will host the third Test from October 29. "The threat assessment for India has been considerably lower than that of Pakistan," Marsh said in the Australian. "We want to find out if the latest bombings will change that in any way and what our independent experts think about our Australia A players being over there at the moment. As always we'll rely on the advice of the experts."
