The Bangladesh Cricket Board has ruled out a switch to a neutral venue for their home series against England this autumn.
England's tour of the south Asian country from October 7 to November 1 has been placed in doubt following the July 1 attack at an upmarket Dhaka restaurant that left 20 dead.
Eoin Morgan, England's limited-overs captain, has called it a "big concern" and said that a neutral venue to host the three-one day internationals and two Tests would be a "feasible" idea.
However, BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury said: "We always believe this [a neutral venue] is never a solution.
"Cricket cannot stop in a country. The cricket operations of both BCB and ECB are in continuous communication regarding the England tour of Bangladesh in October.
"They are in discussion with the tour-related matters, especially the logistics.
"A security delegate from England was supposed to come last month, but as they have tour of India after Bangladesh, I think they will do the security inspection of the two countries together.
"We will get to know when they get confirmation from the two boards."
Security has been an issue in the country previously with Australia postponing their Bangladesh tour last year before pulling out of the U19 World Cup following an advice from their government.
"We have very good track record of hosting successful international events with the support from the government and the law enforcement departments," Chowdhury said.
