A bomb explosion in Karachi has led to fresh concerns about the security of the England cricket team.
They are due to meet Pakistan in a one-day international at the city's National Stadium on 15 December.
The explosion occurred outside a restaraunt close to the hotel where the players will be staying.
"The team will be secure wherever they go - whether it's Karachi, Lahore or Rawalpindi," said Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan.
"This is a global phenomenon. We must not allow the bombers and terrorists to win.
"We have to hold firm, life must go on and I think playing cricket is part of the normalcy that we are all absolutely committed will not be disrupted," Khan told BBC Sport.
