Australia win toss, to field first in second test v Bangladesh
In the second and final test of the series, Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to field first against Bangladesh in Mackay, Queensland on Saturday, August 22, 2022. Bangladesh presently hold a 1-0 advantage in the series after securing a nine-wicket victory in the opening match in Darwin. Matt Renshaw will open the batting for Australia, marking his first Test appearance in over three years, while Jake Weatherald has been dropped due to his poor performance in the previous match.
In response to Bangladesh's recovery from a hamstring injury, Shoriful Islam has replaced Ebadot Hossain in the team. The Mackay's Great Barrier Arena becomes Australia's 12th Test venue.
