Former Aussie coach John Buchanan today said he was not at all worried about the security aspect as he believed that the BCCI and IPL commission were working hard to ensure safety of the players and the game.

Buchanan, who arrived here today to oversee Kolkata Knight Riders’ preparations for 2nd IPL’s T20 at Eden Gardens, said the terror attacks on players in Pakistan was very much shocking, which should not have happened.

But now everyone should work out how to restore normalcy and game of cricket should go ahead instead of sitting at home.

Referring to panic among the overseas players over the safety aspect in India after terror attack on Sri Lanka players in Lahore, Buchanan, also coach of KKR, said let the players decide themselve whether they want to play.

He said he was not worried about the security because he believed the BCCI and IPL Commission would do everything for safety of the players and the game.

Asked whether it was possible to play seven matches in just fifteen days, Buchanan said it was still in process and not finalised.

The West Bengal government had given green signal for IPL games at Eden Gardens between Arpil 11 to 26.

Buchanan said the IPL fixtures were not yet finalised though his side would keep this in mind.

Buchanan, who coached Australia to win two World Cup, lauded Team India’s performance in New Zealand and said after winning at home winning in overseas was wonderful.

He, however, refrained from commenting that M S Dhoni’s side was the best so far in India. ” I am not here to judge a side, ” Buchanan said.
