Australian cricketers and support staff in the Pakistan Super League will have to make a call within days as to whether they are prepared to risk their safety and play in the Twenty20 final in Lahore.

Dean Jones, the coach of Islamabad United, and players Shane Watson and Brad Haddin are among those who could make the trip from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates - where the PSL has been staged - to the trouble spot that is Pakistan, where terrorist attacks have claimed more than 100 lives in recent weeks. A suicide attack in Lahore killed 13 a fortnight ago.

The Punjab government has endorsed the March 5 final being held in Lahore.

It's understood the Islamabad players and staff have yet to discuss the possible trip with security experts, and won't do so until after Wednesday's semi-final against the Karachi Kings. However, it's understood Haddin and Watson are unlikely to participate in the final should United make it.
