England's tour of Bangladesh this autumn will go ahead despite recent security concerns.
Militant group Islamic State said it carried out an attack in the capital, Dhaka, last month which saw 20 hostages killed, including nine Italian citizens, and there are fears of further incidents targeting westerners.
However, the England and Wales Cricket Board tweeted on Thursday: "We can confirm that @englandcricket's tour of Bangladesh will continue as planned."
"England's tour of Bangladesh will continue as planned," Andrew Strauss, ECB's director of cricket, said in a statement.
"Safety and security of players and management are always paramount. We've received a thorough risk assessment, had excellent insight into the current situation and been fully briefed on security commitments. ECB and PCA have the utmost confidence in the advice and support we've been given.
"Tonight we discussed details with the players and management in an open meeting. They asked lots of questions, have time to ask more and will clearly want to take it all in - we understand that. Selection for the tour will be made after the end of the summer internationals."
"We will, as always, continue to monitor the situation right up to and throughout the tour."
England, who play Pakistan in an ODI on Saturday, are due to fly to Bangladesh on September 30 for a month-long trip which will include three ODI matches and a two-Test series.
ODI captain Eoin Morgan admitted to having a "big concern" over security on the tour in the wake of last month's terrorist attack in Dhaka.
