ENGLAND tour of Bangladesh is on despite Eoin Morgan, the limited over skipper of the English side, withdrawing himself from the squad on security ground. It is indeed great news for Bangladeshi cricket and cricket lovers that England's tour to Bangladesh soil will take place on schedule. Bangladesh will play against Afghanistan before meeting the Englishmen. England will come with full-strength side and it will be an important series for them as any series in the subcontinent is tough for the outsiders. Prior to the series against England, the Tigers will play three One Day matches against Afghanistan and it will be a good opportunity for them to warm up against better opponents as they have not played international cricket since March this year. Bangladesh team will, however, sorely miss the services of Mustafizur Rahman as he has been recovering from a surgery in his shoulder. The whole country is eagerly waiting to welcome the England team on its soil.
