"On route back to the hotel last night a window on the Australian team bus was broken. No one was injured in the incident," ESPNcricinfo quoted Cricket Australia's security manager Sean Carroll as saying.
"Team security personnel are currently in discussion with local authorities while they investigate the cause, which is believed to have come from a small rock or stone,&iquest; he added.

"To date we have been happy with security measures that have been in place and we are comfortable with the response from the Bangladesh authorities and the increased security presence we have been provided in light of the incident,&iquest; he said.
