ICC have told England will receive a "presidential" level of security for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan.

Along with Australia and New Zealand, England have raised concerns ahead of next month's tournament, with the ICC insisting it will not be postponed or relocated to Sri Lanka.

But ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat insisted: "It is what our security advisors describe as a presidential level of security, what would be rolled out for any head of state that is visiting the country. That is the extent of the measure we have in place."

The England and Wales Cricket Board are scheduled to meet to discuss the situation and a decision on whether to travel is expected in the next 24 hours.

Lorgat added: "At this moment in time there is no discussion about a late move. Until members' boards or participating teams clearly indicate their view, as far as we are concerned the tournament will progress in Pakistan.

"It is possible to postpone, to relocate or to add a ninth or 10th team but at this point in time we have no indication to the contrary. The tournament is going ahead, the teams have not withdrawn and we expect the best teams to participate.

"We are probably at a position where it is not possible to have a world-class event elsewhere - the shorter time-frame the less likely that is of happening."

It is thought that the ECB would not face punishment if they withdrew on grounds of security fears.

"It's a complicated legal process, something I cannot comment on at this point," Lorgat said.
