Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Nasim Ashraf has ruled out the possibility of the Champions Trophy being moved to another country and called on players to "stop grumbling" about security measures.

Pakistan is scheduled to host the tournament from September 12, but players from Australia and New Zealand are known to be unhappy at the prospect of travelling to a country hit by a series of bomb blasts in recent months.

"The ICC and their member boards are fully satisfied with the security arrangements and have approved the plans we have in place for the event," said Ashraf. "We have done everything possible to make security arrangements foolproof. Even Tim May, the representative of the International Players' Federation, has acknowledged our security plan is the best ever."

Ashraf added that only some players had a problem with touring Pakistan.

"Only some of these players are grumbling and I don't think the concerns they have about the security in Pakistan is based on sense, reasoning or logic," he said.

"It is an emotive reaction and I see it as emotional pressure being put on the ICC and us. But there is no way the ICC or boards will accept this, and the tournament will be held in Pakistan as scheduled.

"All their fears are based on perception and not reality."
