Durham have announced that the men's squad's pre-season tour to Abu Dhabi will not go ahead due to the situation in the Middle East.
The club confirmed that they've been in constant dialogue with the relevant authorities and tour operators, and it has been agreed by all parties that the best course of action to take is not to travel to the UAE.
The men's squad were due to travel on Monday March 9 and were scheduled to play warm-up fixtures while in the UAE.
The women's squad are still scheduled to travel to the UAE for their pre-season tour on Monday March 23, with the club confirming that they will provide updates on their travel plans in due course.
