The International Cricket Council (ICC) executive board will hold a teleconference on Sunday to decide the fate of the Champions Trophy, amid concerns by players about travelling to Pakistan for the event.

An ICC task force set up to allay the safety concerns of the Australia, New Zealand, England and South Africa boards will hold its own teleconference first today.

Serious doubts remain over the Sept. 12-28 event, the most important one-day event after the World Cup, due to concerns raised because of a spate of suicide bombings in Pakistan over recent months.
