The Champions Trophy could be moved from Pakistan to Sri Lanka in September because of security concerns.
A suicide bomber killed at least 15 people in Islamabad on Sunday and the International Cricket Council's Haroon Lorgat said safety would not be risked.
The ICC chief executive said: "The ICC will not compromise the safety and security of any individual at one of its tournaments.
"If it is not appropriate to play in
any country then we will not do so."
The attack in Islamabad was the deadliest in the city for a year.
Security consultants have been preparing a report for the ICC and they are expected to announce by the middle of July whether Pakistan is deemed safe to host the eight-team tournament.
It is due to start on 11 September with matches being held on Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi.
The ICC has previously stated Sri Lanka would be the back-up venue for the trophy.
Australia, who pulled out of a tour to Pakistan in March, and New Zealand have both voiced security fears of holding the event in Pakistan.
