New York [US], May 30: Ahead of the high-octane India versus Pakistan clash in the ICC T20 World Cup on June 9, security cover will be raised at New York's Eisenhower Park stadium following reports of threats to the match, reported ESPNCricinfo.As per a statement by the governor's office, the situation is being monitored and according to their intel "there is no credible public safety threat at this time."Eisenhower Park Stadium, located 25 miles east of Manhattan, is the host of eight ICC T20 WC matches from June 3 to 12, including the battle between two Asian arch-rivals. The governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, said that she is working with the law enforcement authorities to make sure these games go on smoothly."I have also directed the New York State Police to engage in elevated security measures, including an increased law enforcement presence, advanced surveillance, and thorough screening processes," she said as quoted by ESPNCricinfo. "Public safety is my top priority and we are committed to ensuring the Cricket World Cup is a safe, enjoyable experience," she added.ESPNCricinfo has learnt that no corroborative evidence has been found by authorities to back the reported threat. But the International Cricket Council (ICC) has said that security will be "robust" throughout the tournament across all venues.Also Read: "Good to be back": Rohit Sharma trains with Team India ahead of T20 WC opener.An ICC Spokesperson said, "The safety and security of everyone at the event is our number one priority and we have a comprehensive and robust security plan in place.

Earlier this month, the ICC and Cricket West Indies, the co-hosts of the World Cup along with the US, reassured that every measure possible is being taken to ensure the safety of the fans and the players.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
