South Africa's cricket team has apologised to the Bangladesh military for using a drone at a practice session in Dhaka and breaching national security ahead of the start of their tour.
Bangladesh cricket authorities ordered a halt to use of the drone which had been taking photos of the South African players during the Proteas' first practice session on Wednesday.
Team manager Mohammed Moosajee says the Proteas' behind-the-scenes TV crew brought the drone over to try and obtain creative views and images to use on their YouTube channel.
Moosajee says they were unaware of the strict security protocols with regards to the Bangladesh airspace and have subsequently stopped using the device.
