Bangladesh Tell Australia Don't Worry About Security

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in an official media release assured the Australian cricket team that it would provide full security to their players.

Cricket Australia (CA) decided to delay the arrival of the Australian team to Bangladesh for a two-match Test series duye to security concerns.

BCB Chief Executive Officer Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said the BCB is working closely with CA on all matters related to the tour including safety and security of the Australia team and expected the announcement of a fresh date for their arrival soon.

"As the DFAT advisory update was issued only yesterday therefore CA wishes to gather more information before the arrival of the team which is understandable," he said.

"There is no alarm regarding security as far as we are concerned and we have taken the opinion of all relevant agencies because safety of the Australian team is our priority as it is with all visiting teams to Bangladesh."

"The CA has stated its commitment to the series already in a media release and we are confident that the tour will commence with minimum delay," he added.
