Bangladesh is one of the safest places to play cricket in and all security clarifications will be given to Cricket Australia, Bangladesh Cricket Board President Nazmul Hasan has said.
He said this after a meeting with the Head of Security of Cricket Australia (CA), Sean Carroll, at the Australian High Commission in Dhaka yesterday.
“I have told them that we are unaware of any such threats...I have told them if they need clarification on the security arrangements, they are most welcome to discuss that with the intelligence agencies,” Nazmul told media yesterday.
Meanwhile, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said: “Australia Cricket’s security concerns over the Bangladesh tour are baseless because no terrorist or militant attacks have so far been made.”
The minister said this to reporters yesterday.
“Our country is now safe and there are no scopes for the rise of any militant outfits. So, their report about security concerns in our country is baseless. Law and order situation is under control. Bangladesh will never turn into a country like Pakistan or Afghanistan,” he said.
“We can give them full assurance that there will be no problem with the Australian cricket team when they come to our country,” he added.
