International Cricket Council chief executive Haroon Lorgat on Saturday condemned the attack on the West Indies team bus by Bangladesh fans but said there were no immediate plans to move games.
Home supporters reacted angrily after seeing their side bowled out for just 58 by the West Indies in Dhaka on Friday in a World Cup match the visitors won by nine wickets.
The bus came under attack as it was heading back to the West Indies' team hotel after the match, in what police said was a case of mistaken identity, with fans thinking it was the home team's vehicle.
Lorgat said the ICC had no immediate plans to move matches from Bangladesh, with England and South Africa still to play group fixtures in the country against the Tigers. Two quarter-finals are also scheduled for Dhaka.
"The reaction is one of disappointment, because that's exactly what we'd not like to see but I think we must have perspective," Lorgat said. "It was a minor incident. It was some disappointed fans, as a result of the home team being defeated so convincingly by the visitors. My understanding is that a few individuals threw pebbles at the bus.
"With that particular incident we will re-assess but I've said before I am very pleased with the maturity of the security measures we've got, the expertise, the experience we've got on board." ufffdu00a0
