A total of eight players including captain Shubman Gill turned up for training at Edgbaston while the other 10 members had an off day.
We've currently got a cordon in place around Centenary Square, Birmingham city centre, while we investigate a suspicious package, read a post from Birmingham City Centre Police on X.
We were alerted just before 3pm, and a number of buildings have been evacuated as a precaution while it's assessed. Please avoid the area, the message read.
However, an hour later police lifted the cordon.
