Pakistan cricket authorities would still like England play a one-day international in Karachi next month despite the bomb blast in the southern city on Tuesday.
The bomb blast outside a fast food restaurant that killed two people and injured around 15 was close to where the England team is scheduled to stay for the third one-dayer of their tour.
"Bomb blasts have been a part and parcel these days and if Australia can play in England after the London blasts and if Sri Lanka can play in India after Delhi blasts than England can play in Karachi," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan told reporters.
"We hope the blast will not affect the tour and we will not take any decisions on the Karachi one-dayer in panic and are in constant touch with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Pakistan government."
Khan said the already strict security at grounds where England were playing would be further enhanced.
England refused to play a test in Karachi due to security concerns and have limited their stay in the city to just two days for the one-day match.
There was no immediate reaction from the England management but they only agreed to play in the city after much persuasion from the Pakistan cricket authorities.
In May, 2002 a suicide bomb attack on a five-star hotel in the same area killed 11 French naval technicians.
The New Zealand cricket team, who were staying at the hotel, flew home without playing their scheduled test.
