5 tours affected by security concerns

#2 Australia's tour of Bangladesh 2015

Australia's tour of Bangladesh eventually took place in 2017 after the series in 2015 was cancelled by the visitors, who cited security threats

In October 2015, Australia cancelled their scheduled tour of Bangladesh sensing insecurity in the nation. On receiving warnings from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), who informed of a possible security threat, Cricket Australia had decided against allowing the players to travel to Bangladesh. In fact, after the tour was cancelled, the governments of USA, the UK and Canada also brought to the notice of their citizens possible attacks in the country.

What was worse, an Italian aid worker was shot dead in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka at the same time. However, the tour did take place in 2017, with both Test matches held amidst tight vigil from the host board. Bangladesh even went on to defeat Australia in a Test match for the first time as the visitors extracted revenge in the second game to share the series 1-1.
