Bangladesh fans attacked the bus as the visiting players were leaving Sher-e-Bangla stadium after beating the home side in a one-sided match. Dhaka police commissioner said that we will assure foolproof security for the teams. He also said that the same security arrangement was provided to the South African team when they took on Bangladesh at the same stadium Saturday.
