London, May 26 (UNI) The International Cricket Council (ICC) has assured the fans for their safety and security when they arrive here to witness the upcoming Champions Trophy, scheduled to be held in England and Wales from June 1 to 18.
ICC Chairman of anti-corruption and security unit (ACSU), Ronnie Flanagan has said that fans should witness their teams playing in the prestigious tournament without any fear, however, they may face slight inconvenience as additional security has been put after the Manchester suicide bombing, which had killed more than 22 people.
“Don’t let the terrorists have their way. In my experience, sport can be a wonderfully positive influence in the face of adversity and in the face of terrorism. We have seen that in South Africa. I saw first hand in Ireland,” said he addressing the mediapersons.
“I have every confidence that we cannot yield in any way to terrorists’ intentions. I would ask the public to be vigilant and the old adage, if they see something, to say something. But come to our matches,” added Flanagan.
