Team India not to pull out: Shah

CHENNAI: Team India will not pull out of the tri-series in Sri Lanka, at least not just yet, said the BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah, after a bomb blast in Colombo on Monday raised security concerns.

Mr. Shah, who is in the city to attend the BCCI's Special General Body meeting, said, "We are closely monitoring the situation in Sri Lanka. The security there has been beefed up. We are in touch with the Sri Lankan Board, and so is the team manager.

"The team manager is also in touch with our High Commissioner there. We are looking at it, and our team is safe in the hotel."

If the Indian Government asked for the pullout of the team, Shah said the board would call its players back. — Special Correspondent
