Ramprakash surprised by Morgan's hesitation over Bangladesh tour

England's first team batting coach Mark Ramprakash is reportedly clueless over Eoin Morgan's hesitation to travel to Bangladesh with his team.

Speaking to TalkSports, Ramprakash said: “England have had this security expert, Reg Dickason, with them for a number of years. He's incredibly experienced, he's been over there, and his advice is that the tour should go ahead. The ECB are happy to take that advice, Alistair Cook is, and my view is, he's the expert, so I'm due to leave on October the 8th and go out to Bangladesh.”

“The management don't want there to be one, two, three people left at home. They have got a really nice team spirit going, they are very well led by Eoin Morgan,” he said.

He also alludes to the possibility of an unwanted disruption within the players should the captain decide to sit out.

“The national side get a lot of security around them and I'm sure there will be extensive arrangements put in place,” he added.

Regarding the two Test after the three-match one-day series that start on October 7, Ramprakash said that it is important that England play Test cricket in Bangladesh since the latter country epitomises the decline in question.

"Test cricket is just struggling a little bit with crowds and interest around the other countries. We're well supported here in England but in the other countries Test cricket is perhaps taking a back seat to one-day cricket so it's important that we try and fill these two Test matches - they're very important to Bangladesh.”
