The new chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Ijaz Butt said that if the security situation in the country doesn’t improve then the team may have to play home games at the neutral venues. 

In his first media briefing, Butt said, “The holding of the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan depends on the security condition of the country and if the current situation prevails further we may consider the option to play on alternate venues.” 

He further added that he will attend an ICC meeting next month and address the security issues. 

Due to the security reasons, Australia's Test tour and the Champions Trophy were postponed by the ICC. Meanwhile, in order to reach a consensus on new dates for the Champions Trophy, the executive board of ICC would meet in Dubai on October 14 and 15.
