New Zealand A to play in Top End T20 Series and one-dayers in Australia
The squad of 16 features 13 internationally capped players
Australia's Test cricket returns after an eight-month hiatus with a rigorous schedule of 14 matches spanning seven months. The Sporting News provides a comprehensive overview of the upcoming Test series. The red ball squad reunites for a two-Test home winter series against Bangladesh, commencing next week in Darwin and Mackay. The Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay will become Australia's twelfth Test venue.
After the Bangladesh series, Australia embarks on a tour of South Africa, playing three Test matches and three One Day Internationals in October 2026, marking the first South Africa Test tour by Australia since the 'sandpaper gate' match in 2018. Following the New Zealand home series in 2026-27, Australia travels to India to compete for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in January and February 2027, followed by a one-off 150th Anniversary Test Match against England at the MCG on March 11-15.
