Mark Wood has raised security concerns ahead of England's planned tour of Pakistan later this month in the wake of the assassination attempt on Imran Khan.
The English paceman conceded that he, and the English team, were looked after well during their last trip to Pakistan, but was still "worried" about safety.
Khan, both a former cricketer and prime minister, was wounded earlier in the week during a deadly gun attack during a protest march. The 70-year-old was taken to hospital with a leg injury, while one person was killed at the scene.
The English squad are set to arrive in Pakistan on November 26 as part of a three-Test series, with Wood conceding it wasn't up to the players to make decisions on the safety of the squad.
"First of all he's an ex-cricketer so it's close to home for us," Wood said.
"You respect ex-players and everybody who's played the game. It's obviously hugely sad news to hear that as a group.
"But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried because you're going back there when there's been trouble.
"If you break it down and think what it was like when we were there it was pretty good for us, we were looked after really well. So it'll be for people above me to decide whatever happens.
"Obviously it's worrying when you're going back there as a cricketer and there's unrest in the country but that's for their country to deal with, not for us.
"We'll be told and we trust our security guys that tell us what to do so if they say all's fine then we go but I don't know if this changes it."
The English team were most recently in Pakistan in September and October to play in a series of warm up matches for the T20 World Cup. Security measures for that tour included bulletproof buses and snipers.
