Threats of potential terrorist attacks during the Indian Premier League (IPL) have put the Australian and New Zealand cricketers in a quandary.
The players associations of the two countries said that they have received reports from security consultants, warning them of terrorist attacks.
"The report doesn't say 'don't go to India' but it certainly raises issues which are of concern," ACA chief executive Paul Marsh said.
"It identified specific terrorist groups which had the potential to target the event.
"We know these threats exist. It's always going to be risky travelling to this part of the world but the security around it is what we need to understand," said Marsh.
New Zealand Cricket Players Association chief executive Heath Mills said: "The IPL have to engage us and show us what security plans they have to give us some confidence," Mills said.
