"Obviously, what happened there last week was a bit of a shock to see but Reg Dickason has been out there." 

"In my opinion, he's the best man to assess the situation ... Whatever Reg comes back with, the players and the people going out on that tour 100% trust him because he's a man you trust with your life."


Faith in touring Pakistan safely has been broken since an attack by Islamist militants on the Sri Lankan team bus in 2009. Six policemen and two civilians were killed in the attack. Last year, New Zealand and England both cancelled their tours to Pakistan following security concerns.
