England get green light to tour Bangladesh

Dhaka (25 Aug, 2016) : ECB has confirmed that the England cricket team are coming to Bangladesh later this year, lifting security clouds over the winter tour.
  The England and Wales Cricket Board in a Twitter message early on Friday (BdST) said, “We can confirm that @englandcricket's tour of Bangladesh will continue as planned. A brief statement to follow shortly.”

England one-day team will visit Bangladesh first. They are scheduled to set foot in Dhaka on Sep 30. The month-long tour will end with a couple of Test matches.

Before the World Twenty20 in India this year, Bangladesh hosted the Asia Cup and the Under-19 World Cup without any hiccups. England were part of the latter.

After Cricket Australia had put off its national team's trip to Bangladesh for a bilateral series last year citing security concerns, the youth team also pulled out of the Under-19 event for the same reason.
