Mixed signal on the tour now, some suggesting the tour would take place and ECB security people are happy with the arrangement but at the same time Berry reported that travelling to the stadiums and the English fans could be a problem.
Although I highly doubt english fans will go to Bangladesh and if they did go surely ECB can't cancel a tour just because it might not be safe for the fans living in the poorer or cheaper faculties.
Berry article was really clutching at straws considering if they cancelled the tour on the journey to the hotel/stadium then india would be banned as well.
Anyway ECB speaking to Cook tomorrow so we should know more tomorrow or later this week.
Anyway don't England travel in Bulletproof buses or coaches, so travelling shouldn't be a huge problem for them if that is the only stumbling block.
Can't see how Barmy army plays a part in the decision since at the moment Barmy army not running anything in bangladesh and at most 100-300 english fans will be there for the games compared to the 4-6 thousand expected in India maybe even more since Chennai/Mumbai are popular at the moment.
