Although an inspection by security advisors in July cleared Pakistan as a venue for England's tour next month, David Morgan, the ECB's chairman, admitted that the board would again have to look closely at arrangements in the light of the latest incidents.
"The safety and security of the players and staff is of paramount importance," Morgan said "I don't know much about these bombings yet, but we will keep an eye on events. We were satisfied with the inspection, but until I know more about this situation it is difficult to comment further."
The Australian A side were in Lahore at the time of the attacks, and although they were not affected, their one-day match against Pakistan A was moved to the more secure Gaddafi Stadium.
