The Bangladesh cricket team will be returning home tomorrow after the players escaped unharmed during a mosque shooting during Jumma prayers today at Christchurch.

The Tigers are pretty shaken up and the third and final Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand has also been cancelled in the aftermath of the events. They will take a 12pm (5am BDT) Singapore Airlines flight.

There had been some concerns over availability of tickets and whether they have to fly in groups but in the end the whole team is set to depart for home together.
