Australia's cricket authorities are hopeful that a Bangladesh tour due to start in less than a month will go ahead despite a player rebellion over pay, a senior team official said.

"There is obviously a lot of work to be done. But we are hopeful and optimistic that the tour will go ahead," Gavin Dovey, Australia cricket team manager told reporters in the Bangladesh city of Chittagong.
