James Anderson puts faith in England's security team ahead of Bangladesh tour

James Anderson says he has full confidence in England's security experts and will trust their judgement when it comes touring Bangladesh later this year.

England are due to face the Tigers in two Tests and three one-day internationals in October.

However, concerns have been raised over the safety of the tour following July's terror attacks in Dhaka in which 29 people were killed.

Australia postponed their tour of the country in 2015 and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has recently warned "there is a heightened threat of further terrorist attacks and foreigners, in particular westerners, may be directly targeted".

The England and Wales Cricket Board is yet to make a final decision on whether to postpone the tour.

The ECB's security adviser, Reg Dickason, is currently in Bangladesh assessing the level of safety, alongside director of cricket operations John Carr and David Leatherdale of the Professional Cricketers' Association.

The three will file a report on their return and Anderson, who is England's all-time leading wicket taker in Test cricket, says he trusts them to make the right decision on whether or not to postpone the tour.

"Obviously as players when you're going on tour somewhere where there have been incidents in the last few months, you try to keep tabs on it and there are discussions going on among players," he said.

"Reg is brilliant at his job and he's looked after us for the best part of 10 years and David is there with the PCA. We'll get their feedback when they arrive back.

"If there are any doubts they will make the call and we trust their ability to see what the safety is like.

"These decisions aren't - or really shouldn't be - in the hands of players. You should have every bit of honest, open information on how safe it is going to be and whether that's an email or a meeting I'm sure that will be passed to us."

Anderson was part of the England squad that returned to India to complete two Test matches in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

"The situation is different this time because of the time before the tour goes ahead. In India we were all together as a group," said Anderson, who also was part of the England squad that declined to face Zimbabwe in the 2003 World Cup, due to security concerns in the African republic.

"With Zimbabwe we didn't have our own security as we do with Reg now, it was all on the ICC's recommendations," added Anderson.

"I'm sure those of us (who have experience of those trips) will try to help if necessary, but if someone is particularly uncomfortable I'm sure they can raise it with the coach, the captain or a senior official within the ECB."
