Cricket Australia scrap Bangladesh tour on security scare

01 Oct, 2015

SYDNEY: Australia called off a two-test tour of Bangladesh on Thursday citing security concerns after official warnings militants may attack Western interests.

Cricket Australia said that advice from the country's security and intelligence organisation and department of foreign affairs about an increased risk for the team meant this month's matches could not proceed.
