BCCI's senior vice president Rajiv Shukla has ruled out cancellation of Australia's [Images] cricket tour to India following the serial blasts in New Delhi [Images] on Saturday.

Speaking to rediff.com, Shulka said, "There is no question of the tour being cancelled."

He said India being the host country had the responsibility to provide adequate protection to players of the visiting country and our security agencies are capable of providing protection to the Australian squad.

"We can organise a meeting between Australian officials and our security agencies, and we would send them satisfied," he added.

There were reports in national dailies that the Australian board was rethinking whether to go ahead with the tour or not.

"Blasts are taking place around the world, including London [Images], but you don't stop playing cricket. If the Australians want to send a team of security officials to see things for themselves we have no objection," Shukla said.

The team is expected to land in India in the last week of September and spend one week in Jaipur [Images] before the tour gets underway.

One of the Test matches is to be played in Delhi.
