England’s tour of Bangladesh thrown into fresh doubt after it emerges ISIS targeted Australia players last year

DHAKA, Aug. 28 (NsNewsWire) — England’s cricket tour of Bangladesh has been thrown into fresh doubt after details emerged of Australian players being directly targeted by ISIS terrorists last year.

Sportsmail has learned the Australian Government received intelligence before their team’s proposed trip in October of a plot to attack Steve Smith’s men during a reception with the Bangladesh players in Dhaka.

Australia immediately pulled out of the tour on security grounds and their fears appeared well founded when extremists subsequently murdered a group of Italian tourists in the city.
