England and Wales Cricket Board’s security expert Reg Dickason arrived in Chennai on Wednesday morning to make a recce of the stadium and hotel and discuss with officials the security arrangements for England’s two-Test match series.

Dickason landed by a Emirate flight at 8:10 am and immediately proceeded to his hotel. Officials of Tamil Nadu Cricket Association received him at the airport.

During the day Dickason will also have detailed discussion with top BCCI officials regarding the security arrangements at the venues for the series.

After Chennai, he will then proceed to Mohali, the venue of the second cricket Test, and undertake a similar exercise. Dickason was with the England team which returned home abruptly abandoning the last two ODI matches following the terror attacks in Mumbai. He has been entrusted with the task of submitting a comprehensive report to the ECB, which will then determine the fate of the Test series.
