Tight security for Team India in Dhaka

A tight security cordon has been thrown around the Indian team which arrived in Dhaka on Monday for a three-match one-day and two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting on May 10.

Policemen lined the entire route from the Zia International Airport to the team hotel, where a large number of police personnel have been posted.

Apart from the police, Rapid Action Battalion, commandos, plain clothes detective department sleuths are also guarding the team hotel where entry has been restricted.

Arrangements have also been made to provide fool-proof security at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Mirpur, where the first two one-dayers would be played on May 10 and 12.

"We are not leaving anything to chance," a Bangladesh Cricket Board official (BCB) said.

Meanwhile, ticket sales for the first one-dayer started on Monday.
