The future of the tour was in the balance after an attack on a Dhaka cafein July saw 20 — mostly foreign — hostages killed, with the Islamic State group claiming responsibility, reports NDTV.
However, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said last month that the tour, which includes three one-day international and two Test match fixtures in October and November, would go ahead as planned.
The confirmation followed a visit to Bangladesh by an ECB delegation led by their long-serving security chief Reg Dickason.
However, no England player has yet publicly confirmed their willingness to tour Bangladesh.
Following a security briefing given to players by Dickason on his return, several British press reports suggested Morgan had been reluctant to commit himself to the tour.
However, Morgan — in common with several members of England’s one-day squad — has said his attention for the time being is focused on the ongoing series with Pakistan.
England’s four-wicket win in Leeds on Thursday left them 4-0 up in a five-match series ahead of Sunday’s finale in Cardiff.
Morgan is also due to captain England in a lone Twenty20 international against Pakistan at Manchester’s Old Trafford on Wednesday.
ECB director Andrew Strauss, the former England captain, has been at pains to indicate players won’t be rushed into making a decision on whether to go to Bangladesh, although Test skipper Alastair Cook has reportedly already made himself available.
