Sussex calm over security fears

Sussex

Sussex chief executive Dave Brooks says all safety precautions have been taken ahead of their trip to India next week for the Champions League Twenty20.

The inaugural tournament was moved to South Africa last year after the Mumbai bombings in India.

Brooks told BBC Sussex: "The tournament itself has put an overlay of security. We have spoken to the Foreign Office and had a briefing from Sussex Police.

"We've listened to the advice and will act accordingly."

Sussex are looking for a one-day treble this season, having won the Twenty20 Cup and Pro40.

Skipper Michael Yardy said: "I've been to India six times and I know what its about. It's a totally different culture but it is something to embrace and I think the lads will take it on."

The Sharks have been drawn in Group B with New South Wales Blue of Australia and South African Diamond Eagles. Those games take place on 11 and 13 October.
