(Reuters) - Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has ruled out a neutral venue for their home series against England should the visiting team cancel their tour of the south Asian country after the July 1 attack at an upmarket Dhaka restaurant that left 20 dead.

England's limited overs captain Eoin Morgan has called it a "big concern" and felt a neutral venue to host the three-one day internationals and two tests would be a "feasible" idea.
