ICC's Chief Executive Committee (CEC)stated that it had limited powers to take a decision over safety issues as to whether tours should take place or not. It reiterated that the ICC's role in bilateral series was "limited to considering the safety and security of the match officials after a tour had been confirmed and a security plan produced." The decision as to whether a particular tour should take place or not was, the CEC stated, "one for the participating countries."

The board/player associations of each country can use this as ammunition to deter the tour. But ICC will not and can not interfere.
