Cricket Australia is the managing authority to control cricket in Australia and it made the decision for tour of Australia, which was finalized recently. Cricket Australia received serious warnings from their government over the security issues and they are compelled to postpone their tour to Bangladesh. James Sutherland, chief executive officer of Cricket Australia declared that they have no other option to think over it and they have to postpone this tour on the increasing security risk for their Australian cricket team.
He made it clear that it was very difficult decision for him as he received information about the security concerns from the government agencies, which forbade him to change their decision and not to tour to Bangladesh. The security agencies and security advisors suggested government to give warning to Cricket Australia to defer tour of Bangladesh as the security concerns are still increasing.
They sought to obtain the information about the risks for the people of Australia, who travel to Bangladesh. The security agencies and advisors advised them that the security issues are faded but there might be some concerns over the security issues. Cricket Australia received the reports from the security agencies and experts, which clearly indicated that there were some growing risks to the lives of the people, who want to travel to Australia.
