The Bangladesh Cricket Board has expressed its disappointment that its tour of Australia had been scrubbed for financial reasons

Bangladesh had been scheduled to play two tests and three one day internationals down under later this year, but there was no mention of it when Australia's schedule for the 2018-19 home season was published at the end of last month.

The BCB's chief executive Nizam Uddin Chowdhury says they've been told the series isn't financially viable.

Chowdbury says this is really disappointing as not all of the series they've hosted are profitable.

He says if they can conduct them, they expect other cricket boards, especially bigger ones like Cricket Australia, to do the same.
