After a difficult tour of the Caribbean last month, Australia will continue their build-up towards this year’s T20 World Cup in UAE and Oman with another challenging series in Bangladesh.
The team from Down Under will make a rare trip to Dhaka for a five-match T20I series, acting as a catalyst to plug holes and firm up places ahead of the next major ICC event.

It will also be the first time that Australia play Bangladesh in T20Is outside the T20 World Cup. The two countries have faced each other in only four previous T20Is, with the Aussies winning each quite comfortably.

Australia lose captain Finch to knee injury, Bangladesh also weakened by multiple absentees
Both Australia and Bangladesh will enter the forthcoming T20I series with multiple injury concerns. While the tourists will be without their regular limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch after an aggravated knee injury in West Indies, the hosts are also weakened by the absence of their injured veteran Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim due to personal reasons.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das is also unavailable for the series, while prominent all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, unorthodox left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman and in-form left-hander Soumya Sarkar are battling respective niggles.
In absence of Finch, Australia will head into the series with a stand-in T20I captain. Vice-captain Matthew Wade is expected to take over the side, which otherwise retains the same outlook to the one picked for the five-match series in the Caribbean.
