Security has been beefed up on the Australian cricket team's tour of Bangladesh after an object, believed to be a rock, was thrown at the team bus and broke a window.
The bus had been travelling in an armed convoy on Monday evening between the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium and the team hotel in Chittagong.
No players or officials were harmed. It's understood the team masseuse was sitting closest to the window but there was no broken glass in the bus.
Cricket Australia denied reports the object thrown was a brick, saying it was believed to have been a small rock or stone.
It's thought the object might have been thrown by a child as the bus passed by.
"En route back to the hotel last night, a window on the Australian team bus was broken," Cricket Australia head of security Sean Carroll said.
"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.
"Bangladesh authorities are taking the incident seriously and security has been increased on the route."
The incident sent a scare through the Australian camp given the heavy security surrounding the tour.
The Australian squad have been afforded a level of security usually granted to visiting heads of state, with roads blocked off and armed guards patrolling crowds while the convoy is moving.
Australia had been scheduled to tour Bangladesh in 2015 but it was called off due to fears of terrorist attacks targeting Australian nationals.
Eighteen foreigners were killed by militants in July 2016 at a bakery popular among Westerners in Dhaka.
"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," Carroll said.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has pledged to enhance security for both teams and investigate the incident.
"The BCB has taken this matter with utmost seriousness and a high-power committee has been formed by the concerned security agencies to investigate and find out the facts," the BCB said in a statement.
"As added assurance, security measures have been enhanced on the travelling route of the teams."
