England won't change security plans despite shooting near their hotel

England will NOT change their security plans ahead of their final two matches in the Caribbean, despite a man being shot dead near their Port of Spain hotel

  • England have two matches left to play on their tour of their Caribbean
  • A man was shot dead near their Port of Spain hotel on Monday morning
  • They do not plan to change their security plans following the incident 

England’s players will not have their security detail altered despite a man being shot dead near their Port of Spain hotel.

The incident happened on the same road as their Hyatt Regency base in Trinidad, early on Monday morning, hours after they checked in for the final two matches of their white ball tour of the Caribbean.

A team spokesman said nothing had changed, as the team had already been advised not to venture outside of their accommodation due to the Caribbean country’s high crime rate.

The players will not leave the Hyatt Regency except for their two scheduled matches – one on Tuesday and the Twenty20 series finale on Thursday – plus a prearranged round of golf in between.

Locals reports suggested a 47-year-old man was murdered at around 1.20am on Monday on Wrightson Road.

Trinidad & Tobago has the sixth highest crime rate in the world.
