Risk and security in sport

Sport has never been able to ignore risk and security issues, but in the light of today's armed attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan the severity of such attacks is evident. The human tragedy aside, there will now be serious ramifications for international cricket's fixture list. The Australian cricket team has already refused to tour Paksitan for the foreseeable future and others will surely follow suit. Could terrorism therefore be destroying cricket in Pakistan? With the sport on the brink, how can the cricket authorities mitigate the threat of terrorism? Moreover, with heightened security clearly necessary in Pakistan, how can or should the risks of attack be minimised?
