Dates 11 June – 23 June 2020
Test series

The Australian cricket team were scheduled to tour Bangladesh in June 2020 to play two Test matches.[1][2][3] The Test series would have formed part of the inaugural 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship.[4][5] In September 2019, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and Cricket Australia confirmed that the series would go ahead.[6]

Originally a three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series was scheduled to take place in October 2019, with the Test series being played in February 2020.[1] However, the Test series was moved to June 2020, due to fixture congestion.[7] The T20I series is now scheduled to take place ahead of the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, with the dates to be agreed.[8][9] The dates and venues for the two Test matches were confirmed in March 2020.[10][11]

However, on 9 April 2020, the matches were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12][13]
