The Australia cricket team were scheduled to tour Bangladesh from 28 September to 21 October 2015 to play a tour match and two Test matches.[1]

A day before the tour was scheduled to start, the Australian team did not leave their country as Cricket Australia (CA) received information about security concerns.[2] The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said that they were surprised by the delay.[3] Sean Carroll, security manager for CA, meet with the Australian High Commissioner in Bangladesh and the Bangladesh government to discuss the concerns.[4] Despite the ongoing concerns regarding the tour, Bangladesh announced their squad on 28 September.[5] The BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury said that "we are expecting all the matches to be played on schedule".[6] On 30 September the Australian cricketers were sent back to their state squads in readiness for the Matador Cup.[7] The BCB said that "the Bangladesh government has committed to additional security on top of the substantial and elaborate arrangements in the BCB's standard Security Plan for international cricket".[8]

On 1 October, Cricket Australia confirmed that the tour had been postponed with a view to re-arrange the matches for a later date.[9][10] On 16 October the BCB president Nazmul Hassan said that Cricket Australia are committed to playing in Bangladesh.[11]
