John Carr (Director of Cricket Operations ECB and Tim O'Gorman (Team
England Representative) have now completed their round of meetings in
Kolkata and Delhi. They would like to thank the President and Hon. Secretary
of BCCI, Mr Dalmiya and Mr Shah and the Government officials with whom they
met, for their warm welcome and co-operation.
As well as discussing a number of other administrative issues relating to
England's forthcoming cricket tour, a major purpose of the visit to India
was to confirm details of the security arrangements with the Indian
authorities.
John Carr said:
"From the ECB perspective the forthcoming Tour to India has always been on
and we are very pleased that the Tour party has now been finalised with the
addition of Richard Johnson and Martyn Ball. It is essential that our Team
and Management can have peace of mind with regard to security arrangements
to enable them to focus 100% on the cricketing job in hand. We are now very
happy that arrangements can be put in place to achieve this end. We look
forward to a most exciting Test Series."
Tim O'Gorman said:
"I spoke to the players before I arrived in India and I believe that all
their individual concerns can be substantially addressed by the proposed
security arrangements. It is obviously now my duty to report back to the
players on my return to England."
