Australia face Bangladesh in a crucial Group A match on Monday at The Oval, just a few miles south of London Bridge, where assailants drove a van into pedestrians at high speed before stabbing revellers.
“The team, support staff and travelling contingent have been accounted for,” a Cricket Australia spokesperson said. “Our security team is working closely with the ICC and (Local Organising Committee) to ensure the safety and security of our players and support staff is paramount. “At this stage we are comfortable with the level of security being provided to us and will continue to monitor the situation.”
The ICC issued a statement later on Sunday, saying safety and security of the Champions Trophy and the women’s World Cup, beginning on June 24 in Derby, was “the highest priority”.
