Hyderabad will host the second Test match between India and Australia as scheduled next week despite twin bombings in the city that killed 14 and wounded dozens, officials said on Friday.
Rajeev Shukla, spokesman for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said government officials had given assurances about security in the wake of Thursday night's deadly attacks.
"I spoke to the (federal) home secretary, who was in Hyderabad, and had discussion with the chief minister and officials of the state government," Shukla, himself a federal minister, told reporters outside parliament.
CA chief executive James Sutherland had earlier said in a statement from Chennai that he expected the Hyderabad Test to go ahead as scheduled.
