Sydney/Auckland/New Delhi: New Zealand has no plans to cancel its cricket tour of India and the Australian team is still on track for the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi despite a double bomb blast at an Indian Premier League stadium in Bangalore overnight.
Cricket Australia said it was closely monitoring the security situation in India after two small bombs exploded outside Chinnaswamy Stadium just before a match between Bangalore and Mumbai on Saturday, injuring 14 people and panicking fans. Bangalore is set to host World Cup cricket matches early next year.
Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull, a television commentator at Saturday's match, described the bombings as "bizarre and frightening."
The Twenty20 game, featuring Indian stars Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble, started an hour late with increased security.
No Australian players competed for either team Saturday, although there are about 20 Australians contracted to seven of the eight IPL clubs. They include retired test cricketers Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds, among the highest-profile players in the world.
"We are in monitoring mode," Cricket Australia spokesman Peter Young told The Associated Press on Sunday. "We are pleased that there have been no injuries among our playing personnel, and we're awaiting advice from the IPL.
"Australian players are there independent of us, in a formal sense we are not connected. But we are always concerned about our players and personnel."
Bangalore's city police commissioner said four officers and a security guard were among the wounded. The guard's injuries were serious.
The Commonwealth Games are scheduled to begin Oct. 3 in New Delhi, but Perry Crosswhite, chief executive of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association, said the bombs would not affect the Australian team's plan to compete in India.
