England’s players will “100%” trust the security advice around travelling to Pakistan for next month’s Test series, says captain Ben Stokes.

England will play their first Tests in Pakistan for 17 years from 1 December but concerns have been raised after the gun attack on Imran Khan.

England’s security advisor Reg Dickason has visited Pakistan and may return in the coming weeks to reassess security.

“He’s the best man to assess the situation,” Stokes said.

“We can’t really comment on anything really until we’ve got all the information back from Reg.

“But 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.”

On Saturday, England bowler Mark Wood admitted it was “a worry”external-link.
