Bangladesh Tests Australia in Unusual Winter Series | Australia News

Australia prepares for a historic winter Test series against Bangladesh, marking the first such tour in 23 years—with matches set in Darwin and Mackay during the dry season. Australia boasts a flawless record at Marrara Stadium, while Harrup Park in Mackay makes its debut as a Test venue. Bangladesh enters with mixed form: recent wins over Pakistan contrast with losses to Zimbabwe and a shaky warm-up performance. Australia’s bowling lineup is strengthened by returning stars Cummins, Hazlewood, and Lyon, while Bangladesh loses key pace options like Nahid Rana. Despite never defeating Australia on home soil, Bangladesh holds a memorable win from 2017—adding spice to this rare, tropical showdown.
