Everything you need to know as Australia hosts Bangladesh in the Top End
Winter cricket gets underway in the Top End this week as Australia welcomes Bangladesh to Darwin and Mackay for a two-Test series. Here's everything you need to know.
Australia is hosting Bangladesh for a rare Test series in the Top End this August. The two teams will play two Tests, with the first starting on August 13 in Darwin at Marrara Stadium and the second on August 22 in Mackay at Harrup Park. This is the first time in 23 years that Bangladesh will tour Australia for a Test series. The series comes at a time when August is not typically cricket season in Australia, but officials are taking advantage of the dry season in the north to bring the matches to the tropics.
