Middlesex will not force any of their players to travel to India for the Champions League Twenty20 if reschedule to January.
The tournament was postponed after the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, where three group matches were due to take place.
Middlesex, who qualified for the competition after winning last year's Twenty20 Cup, were due to stay at the Taj Mahal Palace, one of the hotels targeted by the terrorists.
England also cut short their seven-match one-day international series because of security concerns.
A review will be carried out to determine whether it is safe for the team to return while England captain Kevin Pietersen has said no player will be forced to travel.
And Middlesex chief executive Vinny Codrington will follow England's lead.
"My feeling is that we will be going back in the second half of January," Codrington told Sky Sports.
"I think we'd probably go down the England model. We would canvass the players' opinion and ask if they wanted to go and if they didn't want to go then we wouldn't force them to go."
Security measures at India's airports were heightened on Thursday amid fears of fresh attacks, but Codrington insisted his players were keen to play in the lucrative tournament.
"I think they are very keen to play especially as it is an inaugural competition," he added.
"It's an opportunity to pit themselves against the best and those sorts of opportunities don't come along very often."
Middlesex captain Shaun Udal is hopeful talks planned this weekend between tournament chairman Lalit Modi and other officials will result in the competition being rearranged for some time early next year.
"Apparently there is a window being looked at in the third or fourth week in January. If everything is fine and security is not an issue then hopefully we'll be back there then," Udal said
