The International Cricket Council has announced September's Champions Trophy event will take place in Pakistan as originally planned.England, defending champions Australia, South Africa and New Zealand had all stated their concerns about safety after the suicide bomb attacks in Pakistan - Australia's players in particular being most vocal about potentially boycotting the event.
Safety issues were again raised most recently in June, when a suicide bomber detonated a device that killed 15 people in Islamabad.
However, despite the problems, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has always maintained it could host the eight-nation tournament safely.
PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf has stated: "We thank all member countries for their kind support. The competition goes ahead as planned.
"The ICC has decided to appoint a special task force which will visit Pakistan. The tournament will take place as scheduled from September 11 to September 28."
