"They have arrived in Lahore to assess security and other aspects of the tour," Zakir Khan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) operations general manager, told reporters . "We have already committed that we will provide the best security to the Indian cricket team. It's a reconnaissance tour, and besides security they will assess different aspects of the tour, which include ground and accommodation facilities."
The delegation was sent in response to concerns raised by some of the Indian side about the levels of security in place for the trip.
"We are here with open minds and besides security assessments we will inspect cricketing arrangements which have been a routine before an international series," Amrit Mathur, the board's media manager and a member of the delegation, told reporters. He refused to answer questions about comments attributed to Sourav Ganguly regarding safety concerns.
The delegation returns on February 14 at which time they will submit their findings. Assuming there are no major problems, the itinerary for the trip will be finalised almost straight away.
