The ICC has enhanced security around the Champions Trophy teams following Saturday night’s incident in London, with the Indian and Pakistani team hotels here going into lockdown. Police presence at Sunday’s game was also enhanced.

“Following last night’s incident all team hotels went into lockdown and teams, match officials and staff were all quickly accounted for,” the ICC announced in a statement. “The enhanced security around venues implemented following the Manchester attack remains in place.

“Our thoughts are with everyone affected by what has happened in London overnight. The ICC and ECB continue to place safety and security at the ICC Champions Trophy and ICC Women’s World Cup this summer as the highest priority.”
