The International Cricket Council insists swift measures have been taken to ensure the safety of teams competing in the Champions Trophy following the London terror attack on Saturday night.
Seven people were killed and dozens more injured by three terrorists just two miles from The Oval, one of the three venues hosting the global cricket tournament.
The tournament continued under heightened security on Sunday, with a minute's silence preceding India's victory over Pakistan at Edgbaston.
The ICC said in a statement on Sunday: "Our thoughts are with everyone affected by what has happened in London overnight. The ICC and ECB [England and Wales Cricket Board] continue to place safety and security at the ICC Champions Trophy and ICC Women's World Cup this summer as the highest priority.
"Following Saturday night's incident, all team hotels went into lockdown and teams, match officials and staff were all quickly accounted for.
"The enhanced security around venues implemented following the Manchester attack remains in place, and this includes significantly enhanced police and security presence for Sunday's match."
England's next fixture is against New Zealand in Cardiff on Tuesday. Steven Finn, called into the squad on Sunday to cover for the injured Chris Woakes, said the team was comfortable with the security arrangements in place.
"We're fully supportive of the security plans that are in place," he told Sky Sports News HQ. We've been briefed on how we're going to be protected... so we're all very comfortable that there's a ring of steel around (the tournament).
"Everyone who is within the ground and we ourselves will be safe, and as long as our minds are at ease with that, we'll be right to play cricket."
Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick offered his condolences to the victims of both attacks at his testimonial on Sunday.
The game was brought forward so it did not clash with the 'One Love Manchester' concert being held at the nearby Old Trafford cricket ground later in the evening in aid of those affected by the May 22 suicide bomb attack at the Manchester Arena, which killed 23 people.
Victims' families were in the Old Trafford crowd, as were about 300 members of the emergency services who dealt with the aftermath of the atrocity.
"Obviously this game has extra significance in the wake of what has happened in the last two weeks," said Carrick, who laid floral tributes ahead of a minute's silence for victims of both attacks.
"I'd like to extend my condolences to those affected by the events in Manchester and also those in London. My heart goes out to all those affected and my message is 'stay together and stay strong'.
"On my behalf, I'd like to welcome some of the families of the victims. I'd also like to welcome about 300 of the emergency services who were heroic in their efforts in the last couple of weeks."
Meanwhile, with a month to go until Wimbledon, tennis stars including Novak Djokovic at the French Open said the attacks would do nothing to deter them from travelling to London.
"It's very disturbing, one of the biggest cities in the world, most important cities in the world, some of the most popular locations in the town suffering these terrorist attacks," said Djokovic. "It makes you wonder a little bit, makes you question certain things.
"I didn't get to that thought of, 'oh, should I go, should I not go to London with myself, my family'," added the world No 2. "Because it can happen anywhere. I mean, if it happens in London, happens in Paris, Nice, it can really happen anywhere.
"If we live in fear, that's not life."
