Dhaka: Australia captain Steve Smith on Saturday expressed his satisfaction over the security arrangement taken by Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) taken for them during their stay here for the two-match Test tour against the Tigers.

"I'm very happy with the security arrangement. It is fantastic security arrangement in Mirpur. I'm feeling great. To host us, Bangladesh worked well on security before our coming," said Smith.

Smith was speaking at a press conference at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur in his first appearance before the press after arriving in Dhaka on Friday night.

Replying to a query, he said Bangladesh is now a tough opponent and it will be a great challenge to face them on their home soil.

The visiting team captain thinks spinners will dominate in the series and making any prophecy before the match is difficult as both sides' players of the current Test teams are unknown to each other.

The visiting side will play two-day tour match against BCB XI on August 22-23 before their Test battle.

The first Test will be played (August 27-31) at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Dhaka while the 2nd Test (September 4-8) at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.
