Bangladesh cricketers have been forced to flee after getting caught up in a mass shooting in a Christchurch Mosque.
Police have cautioned people to remain indoors in Christchurch after a gunman is understood to have opened fire in a Mosque.
The Bangladesh players, who have been touring New Zealand were scheduled to play in the third and final Test of their series this weekend, escaped unharmed.
The Test has now officially been cancelled in wake of the incident.
