Pakistan's Australian coach Geoff Lawson will try to convince Australia of their security ahead of next month's Champions Trophy.

Players from Australia, New Zealand and England have voiced concerns at travelling to Pakistan following a series of bomb blasts to hit the Asian nation in recent months.

"Geoff will be part of the delegation. He was invited by the ICC to talk to the players in Australia and New Zealand," an ICC spokesman told PA Sport.

"He is in a unique situation where he is an Australian who lives and works in Pakistan. He is in a better place than anyone to understand the concerns of the Australian players and then to address those concerns."

The spokesman added: "The reason we have been engaging in this process is to provide the players with as much information as possible so that they are comfortable with the level of security. Geoff is in a position to provide an insight into the situation in Pakistan."

In March, Cricket Australia rescheduled their tour of the Asian nation citing security as the key factor in their decision.

The International Cricket Council's (ICC) hopes of avoiding a similar situation ahead of the Champions Trophy were not aided on Tuesday when a bomb hit a Pakistan air force vehicle in Peshawar, killing at least nine people.

It came on the same day an ICC fact-finding team, led by chief executive Haroon Lorgat and tasked with determining the security threat, confirmed the tournament would be held in Pakistan.

Following that decision the ICC revealed they would also send a delegation to Australia and New Zealand where they will meet players and officials in an attempt to convince them to travel to the tournament, which is scheduled to begin on September 12.

Lawson, who took over as Pakistan coach in July last year, is set to play a key role in those discussions, with the ICC believing he will be able to provide assurances to the Australian players in a scheduled meeting on Friday.
