Australia have officially announced their upcoming tour of Bangladesh, confirming a full limited-overs series scheduled for June. The Australian side will travel to Bangladesh following their three-match One Day International series in Pakistan, continuing a busy subcontinental assignment that will test squad depth and adaptability in challenging conditions.
The tour comprises three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). All ODI fixtures will be staged in Dhaka, while the T20I series will be played in Chattogram.
The ODI series is set to take place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, with matches scheduled on 9, 11 and 14 June. This venue, the country’s primary international cricket ground, is known for its slow, turning pitches which often favour spin bowling and demand tactical batting approaches.
Following the conclusion of the ODI leg, both teams will move to Chattogram for the T20I series. The shorter-format matches will be held at the Bir Shrestha Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium on 17, 19 and 21 June. The ground has frequently hosted international fixtures and is regarded for offering marginally better batting conditions compared to Dhaka.
Australia’s tour is expected to provide both sides with crucial preparation and competitive exposure in the lead-up to future ICC events. For Bangladesh, the home series represents a significant opportunity to test themselves against one of the world’s leading cricketing nations in both formats.

Before arriving in Bangladesh, Australia will conclude a three-match ODI series in Pakistan, which is expected to serve as vital preparation for the subcontinental conditions they will encounter. The tight scheduling reflects a demanding international calendar, with minimal recovery time between tours.
Cricket observers anticipate that both series—first in Pakistan and then in Bangladesh—will play an important role in shaping team combinations and strategies ahead of major global tournaments.
