Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board can confirm the two-match Test series scheduled to start on 21 October will go ahead.
A security assessment was recently conducted by CSA’s Operations Manager, Team Security Manager, Safety and Security Consultant, and a representative of the South African Cricketers’ Association. CSA has given the series a go-ahead based on the recommendations made by the team post an in-loco inspection visit to Bangladesh.
