Most of the eight franchises begin training as early  as next week.       Australian  Cricketers' Association (ACA) chief executive Paul Marsh said he had  received the report from Dickason but would not disclose its contents  until he had advised the players.       'We haven't  spoken to the players at this stage,' Marsh was quoted as saying in The  Australian.       'We have just  received the report and we are working through it,' he said.       'We need to go  through the process of talking to our executive and our players before  we are in a position to make public comment,' Marsh added.       England's  Twenty20 captain Paul Collingwood, who plays for Delhi Daredevils, said  he is yet to make a decision on IPL participation.       'I am aware of  the reported security risks and am in constant communication with Delhi  Daredevils,' Collingwood said.       'I  will make a decision once I have had a chance to review all the  available information and talk to the relevant people.'</blockquote>
