Keeping an eye on the developments in Pakistan, Team India are getting edgy about their future travel plans. Huddled inside their hotel rooms, the players surf TV channels to get an idea about the situation in the country where the Champions Trophy is scheduled to be held next month.

8220;Have they arrived at any decision? When are they finally deciding on the Champions Trophy?8221; asks a player as the ICC deals with mounting boycott threats.

8220;I think after these blasts, the tournament will not be held in Pakistan. What do you think? What is out board8217;s take on this issue? Where will it go now? England?8221;. The questions are endless.

A team member informs the player that he8217;d heard if the Champions Trophy was moved from Pakistan, it would be played in Lanka. 8220;In that case, we don8217;t go home8230;Our stay will be extended,8221; replies an apprehensive voice.
