The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is poised to announce its national squad on 1 June 2026 for the upcoming home white-ball series against Australia. Sources close to the selection panel indicate that no unexpected additions or exclusions are anticipated. The selection committee is expected to maintain squad stability, selecting the same group of players that featured in Bangladesh’s recent bilateral series against New Zealand.

To prepare for the high-profile visit, the BCB has scheduled a mandatory training camp at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, which will commence on 4 June 2026.
