Australia are scheduled to play two Test matches in Bangladesh, a news website reported.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is the same squad that had played against South Africa in July-August.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The home team started training on Monday afternoon before the team was officially announced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, who could not join in the BCB&#39;s Elite Players Conditioning Camp after being diagnosed with jaundice, took part in the training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the 14 players in the squad, only seven trained on Monday. Six others are with the Bangladesh A team, currently playing in India, while Tamim Iqbal was not there due to personal reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Australian team&#39;s departure from Sydney was delayed after its government warned that there was a potential security risk from militants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cricket Australia&rsquo;s Head of Security Sean Carroll flew into Dhaka on Sunday to assess the security situation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After a meeting at the Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday, neither side would say whether a decision had been reached.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Asked whether the Test series was on or off, BCB president Nazmul Hassan, who attended the meeting, told reporters, &quot;can&rsquo;t say anything specific right now. There is still time. The series can be held on schedule if the Australian team comes with two days in hand.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first Test is supposed to kick off October 9 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bangladesh squad for Chittagong Test:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mushfiqur Rahim (Captain), Tamim Iqbal (vice-captain), Imrul Kayes, Liton Kumar Das, Mominul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Soumya Sarkar, Nasir Hossain, Taijul Islam, Jubair Hossain, Rubel Hossain, Mohammad Shahid, Mustafizur Rahman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 20.8px; text-align: justify;\">(IANS)<\/span><\/p>\r\n",
