Chris Jordan is the latest player to commit unequivocally to England's tour of Bangladesh, in the belief "more than enough security" measures will be in place.

Jordan has followed Moeen Ali in declaring himself available to travel at the end of this month, although ODI captain Eoin Morgan is yet to make up his mind whether to visit a country where a terror attack at the start of July resulted in the loss of 29 lives.

Jordan, speaking on the eve of England's season-ending Twenty20 against Pakistan at Old Trafford, said he was ready to tour but that others' decisions must be respected.
