Cricket Australia's head of security Sean Carroll has arrived in Dhaka to observe the security measures in place for England's ongoing tour of the country. Australia are due to arrive in Bangladesh in August 2017 to fulfil the two-Test tour of 2015 that was postponed due to security concerns.
Nizamuddin Chowdhury, the BCB chief, said Carroll's visit was "encouraging".
Carroll travelled with the England team's convoy from their hotel to the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur to sample the security arrangements. It is understood that he will further examine the security during the second Bangladesh-England Test starting on Friday.
The move is seen as a positive consequence of England's willingness to tour after being given security assurances by the Bangladesh government following concerns because of the July 1 terrorist attack in Dhaka.
