Australia confirms T20I tour of Bangladesh from August 3 to 9

DHAKA: Australia will tour Bangladesh for a five-match T20I series from August 3 to 9, it has been confirmed. All the matches will be played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

The tour will be Australia's first visit to Bangladesh since September 2017, when they visited the country for two Tests in Dhaka and Chattogram.

Earlier, Australia had cancelled their 2015 tour and pulled out of the 2016 under-19 World Cup over security reasons.

Both Australia and Bangladesh are expected to arrive in Dhaka after completing their tours of West Indies and Zimbabwe respectively on July 29.

Australia will come in a charter flight from Barbados to Dhaka. Upon arrival, both squads will go through a three-day room quarantine period at the hotel, which will be strictly off-limits for the public. IANS
