The first editions focus on the possibility of Nasser Hussain's men boycotting the match on 13 February if it is not moved away from Zimbabwe.

The Sun: 'TARGET NASSER' Daily Mirror: 'LUNACY - SHRAPNEL BOMB COULD HAVE KILLED CHELSEA KEEPER' Daily Star: 'MISSILE COULD HAVE KILLED KEEPER' Daily Mail: 'WE'LL PULL OUT - NASSER'S MEN DEMAND SWITCH' Daily Express: 'PLAYERS DEMAND SWITCH' The Guardian: 'ENGLAND TEAM REVOLT ON HARARE' The Times: 'HUSSAIN'S MEN PLEAD FOR BOYCOTT' The Telegraph: 'DEEP SPLIT OVER ZIMBABWE' The Independent: 'ICC READY TO DISCUSS ENGLAND FEARS'

Owen Slot refers to "the extremely significant and rather thinly veiled threat" made by the players in The Times.

He goes on to applaud their "impressive break for the moral high ground" and The Telegraph's Derek Pringle similarly hails "a spectacularly bold move".

The final straw for the players came when 2,000 bullets and 24 bayonets "earmarked for an attempt on their lives" were found in a farm near the Zimbabwean capital Harare, according to The Sun.

The game will only be moved if the safety of England's players can be shown to be at risk by playing in Zimbabwe.

The Independent thinks the ICC is at least ready to listen to the demands of the players.

English cricket is now "facing its deepest crisis since the rebel tours of South Africa" according to The Guardian.

Many of the tabloids lead with the story that Chelsea keeper Carlo Cudicini could have been killed by a missile fired onto the pitch during the FA Cup tie at Shrewsbury on Sunday.

A metal object, fired from outside the ground, landed just inches from the Italian 15 minutes into the fourth-round match.

Both The Express and The Mirror describe the act as "lunacy" with bold back page headlines alongside photographs of the offending object.
