Melbourne, July 3: : The BCCI favours postponement of the Champions Trophy in Pakistan instead of relocating it to any other country if security situation was not too safe in September, Australian media reported on Thursday.

"The report from Pakistan comes just days after Cricket Australia's security consultant, Reg Dickason, toured the country to inspect systems and facilities during the Asia Cup. The ICC also sent a four-man security delegation to Pakistan last week," reported Sydney Morning Herald.

Sri Lanka was named the alternative host for the event but the island nation's security issues led to South Africa being asked to be on the stand-by.

India's move came as it emerged that a key component of Pakistan's past security plans would not feature for the Champions Trophy.

An unnamed Australian player described the development as ‘worrying’ as roads between team hotels and grounds perhaps would not be cleared of all traffic as had been expected.

CA will review the findings of Dickason's report before deciding whether to attend the Champions Trophy. But if it gives the nod, several leading players will consider boycotting the tournament.

The Australian Cricketers' Association said it would reserve comment on the issue until after it had met CA officials.
