Would you tour bangladesh after this?

[Richard]

Either way you lose.
If you go, you could lose your life and so much more...
If you don't go, you're giving-in to terrorism.

still the 2nd option is better then the first one

Absolutely, a tour to Bangladesh isn't worth it if the team's safety is in jeopardy.
Safety first, cricket later. After all, it's just a game.....

Is there a stated reason for the threat?

Some websites are saying for the retaliation of Gujarat Incident

Yes, it is worse than the deaths of cricketers or anyone... and yet we all know what the consequences of the 2nd option would be. I'm no expert on the situation with regards terrorism in the subcontinent, but everyone acknowledges that the best way to increase terrorism fiftyfold is to cooperate with or kowtow to terrorits.

That is the very reason I think the team should make the trip. As it is, some indian players are already on the hitlist of the now "disbanded" Lashkar-e-Toiba. These players play in India and the security in India is no great shakes either.

Ta. Personally I wouldn't tour, and I couldn't blame the Indians for refusing to go. For me, the bigger question is whether Bang should be removed from international competition for a few years. Obviously that's really tough on their players and supporters, but it does show the psychopaths that if they're going to make these threats it's going to backfire on the country as a whole. Otherwise, as a someone said earlier, you're either giving in to terrorists or putting players' lives at risk.

 

[Richard]

That would be me.

it looks like the tour will go on...will be interesting to see how many players really go to bangladesh

 

[viktor]

Good point. A letter in a newspaper said that it may affect their performance, so that is, in a way, testing for the Indian team. I only hope it's not a plan to improve (or in this case, create) the Bangladeshi side's win-rate.

Giving in to Terrorists is not an answer IMO.
