Australia will play two Test matches in Bangladesh in October.

Australia will play two Test matches against Bangladesh in October in the first series between the two nations since 2006.

They will play a three-day warm-up match, before the Test matches in Chittagong and Dhaka, starting on October 3 and 9 respectively.

Bangladesh are in the middle of a Test series against South Africa, but heavy rain has disrupted the second test.

Meanwhile, Australia are currently losing the Ashes series 2-1.
