England spinner Liam Dawson is ready to return to Bangladesh this week and play for the Rangpur Riders in the Bangladesh Premier League despite security advice warning him to stay away from the Twenty20 tournament.

The Hampshire left-armer was a late addition to the Riders' squad following his recent return from his role as a member of England's successful limited-overs tour of the country.

But with the Bangladesh Cricket Board insisting that BPL players will get the same security as England one-day and Test sides.

"I'm really looking forward to joining up with Rangpur Riders," said the 26-year-old in a Hampshire statement.
