England must set aside security concerns about touring Bangladesh as they bid to close out a series victory over Pakistan.
The Test and one-day international trip to Bangladesh, due to start next month, was given the go-ahead after a delegation of experts reported back from their fact-finding mission.
Liam Plunkett will leave his decision on whether to travel until after the end of the Royal London Series, with the squad for the ODI leg of the tour likely to be named by the end of next week.
In the meantime, England have their first chance at Trent Bridge in the third match of five against Pakistan on Tuesday to convert a 2-0 lead into outright success.
Plunkett is already daring to eye a 5-0 whitewash - and knows he must temporarily forget worries about travelling to Bangladesh, where 29 people lost their lives in the country's deadliest terror attack last month.
Asked if the quandary may cast a shadow over the ongoing series, he said: "It probably is on some people.
"Maybe I will speak to a few more people, but I trust (ECB security adviser) Reg (Dickason) and what he says."
Even so, Plunkett has made no firm decision yet.
"I'll speak to my family once the series is done, have a good think, look into it a bit more and come up with a decision.
"I've got a few more questions to ask and I'll finalise my judgement and come up with a decision then.
"People are talking to each other, getting different ideas.
"Some people might want to go, some people might not."
Plunkett is digesting another significant piece of information - that Jason Gillespie, his coach at Yorkshire, will leave at the end of this season.
The 31-year-old fast bowler voiced his personal gratitude to the Australian for helping him to revive a career which was flagging before his move south from Durham.
"I want to thank him for taking a chance on me to come to Yorkshire," said Plunkett.
"One of the first net sessions I had with him was in the winter, and I hit the side-netting.
"I thought that was the end of my career at Yorkshire right then.
"But he said 'Don't worry about it - it is November' - and he pretty much said he just wanted me to run up and bowl fast.
"I take my hat off to him - I owe him quite a bit."
Pakistan's Swansea-born all-rounder Imad Wasim is already looking forward to a weekend return to his native country for the final match of the series in Cardiff.
He knows much hard work will be needed for a happy homecoming.
"We're ready, up for it," said Imad.
"We have to get some runs on the board and give our bowlers a chance."
