England are to delay naming their one-day squad for the tour to Bangladesh in an effort to buy more time to persuade captain Eoin Morgan to go on the trip.

The selectors were due to sit down and pick the squad the middle of next week after Tuesday’s Twenty20 against Pakistan at Old Trafford, which is the final international fixture of the summer.

But now they are likely to delay it by around a week to allow more time for one-on-one meetings between Andrew Strauss, the team director, and players who have specific fears over the security situation in Bangladesh.

The tour begins with a one-day series and England are due to leave for Bangladesh on Sept 29, with the first of the 50 over matches starting in Dhaka on Oct 7, and captain Morgan’s decision will be closely watched by the other players.

Sources have indicated he has already pulled out of the tour but this has been denied with the board hopeful they can talk him round and allay his concerns.
