Sydney, Oct 2 (IBNS): Amid security concerns, Australia on Thursday announced its decision to postpone their tour to Bangladesh.

Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland announced that the tour will not go ahead as it was planned.

"Members of Australia's Test squad were sent back to their respective state sides on Wednesday and will now take part in the Matador BBQs One-Day Cup, which starts in Sydney on Monday," Cricket Australia website said.

The team was scheduled to reach Bangladesh last Monday.

"Australia's 15-man squad had been scheduled to fly out for Bangladesh last Monday morning but were delayed after the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade informed CA they had "reliable information" about a possible security risk," read the website.

Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland was quoted as saying by the website: "After six days of extensive deliberations and research, we've come to the conclusion that we have no other alternative than to postpone our tour to Bangladesh."
