South African players will not be allowed to go to India if the security is insufficient. "We are contact with the Indian authorities, we do look after the protection of the players," said Robert Nicholls, director of Nicholls, Steyn and Associates.

"If we feel that the security standards are low , we will not allow the players to play there." Nicholls said the attacks on the Sri Lankan players "a wake-up call for everyone." South African captain Graeme Smith told that no decisions would be taken. "We will take on the advice of Cricket South Africa and the safety consultants.’’

"There is an important tour to India for us next year and the IPL is just around the corner. South African players such as J P Duminy, who was bought up for $1m by Mumbai Indians, Rapport quoted an unnamed player saying that they would rather stay at home.
