Cricket Australia has confirmed that Bangladesh will tour Australia in 2027 for their first-ever Test series between the two nations. The historic two-match series will be played in Darwin and Melbourne.
Schedule and Venues
The first Test will take place at Darwin's Marrara Oval from June 17-21, 2027, while the second Test will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from June 25-29, 2027. Both matches are part of the World Test Championship cycle.
Significance of the Series
This will mark the first time Australia and Bangladesh have faced each other in Test cricket. The series is expected to strengthen cricketing ties between the two countries and provide Bangladesh with valuable experience against a top-tier side.
Australia's selectors will likely use the series to rotate players and give opportunities to emerging talent, given the timing of the matches in the Australian winter.
