Mark Wood has admitted the attempted assassination of the former Pakistan prime minister – and former captain of the national cricket team – Imran Khan on Thursday is a cause for concern but the England and Wales Cricket Board has no immediate plans to abandon their forthcoming Test tour of the country.
Wood is a member of the squad due to arrive in Pakistan later this month and was also in the white-ball squad that travelled to play seven Twenty20 internationals in October, their first games in the country for 17 years. On that occasion the players were surrounded throughout by military protection, but the tour proceeded without incident and was considered a great success.
