Twenty20 International series |
The Australia cricket team are scheduled to tour Bangladesh in August 2021 to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The matches will be used as preparation ahead of the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[3][4][5] Cricket Australia were planning for the series to take place following their tour of the West Indies.[6] It will be the first bilateral T20I series between the two teams.[7]
Although the cricket boards have earlier agreed to play three T20Is, in April 2021, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) asked Cricket Australia to play five T20Is.[8] Akram Khan, the BCB's director said, "We have come a long way in negotiating with Australia. We are going to play three T20s, but we have requested for two more". He added, "They are taking time, they will let us know very soon. But if everything is right and if we have a good situation with COVID-19, they will come here and play this series. Then New Zealand will come".[9]
