"For us players' safety comes as the first priority and we are not going to compromise with it at any cost," said BCB media committee chairman Jalal Yunus, reported Cricbuzz.

"We will talk with PCB in this regard and if we see that there is any threat then certainly we will not send our team to Pakistan. But at the moment it is too early to make a decision in this regard as we still have time on our hands," said Yunus.
