Cricket: Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins is thrilled after making his cricketing return via the IPL after a long term back issue.
The dates for the Australian men’s team’s next assignments have been confirmed with the white-ball squads to begin a tour of Pakistan and Bangladesh later this month.
The Pakistan Cricket Board announced the schedule for the upcoming three-match One Day International Series, where the Australians will visit Rawalpindi and Lahore. Watch the Bangladesh v Pakistan test series from 8–12 May and 16–20 May, streaming Live and exclusive on FOX SPORTS available on Kayo | New to Kayo?
It is not the first time Australia’s men have been to Pakistan this year with the T20 team suffering a 3-0 defeat prior to their group stage exit at the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka. With first ODI taking place on May 30, there is a scheduling conflict with the Indian Premier League that will likely force a new-look squad to be chosen with one eye towards next year’s ODI World Cup.
The IPL’s final will be played on June 1, meaning the likes of Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Marcus Stoinis, Xavier Bartlett and Tim David may miss the trip to Pakistan with their respective teams in contention to win the tournament. Salman Ali Agha of Pakistan tosses the coin alongside Mitchell Marsh of Australia during the T20 International match at Gaddafi Stadium on January 31, 2026.
After the three-game series in Pakistan, the Australians will head to Bangladesh for three ODIs in Dhaka and three T20Is in Chattogram. Australia’s IPL stars may link up with the national team in Bangladesh, but it is expected that Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc will sit out the entire tour. The squads for the series are yet to be announced.
Every match of the Australian Men’s Qantas Tour of Pakistan and Bangladesh will be shown live and exclusive on Kayo Sports and Fox Cricket. Test cricket hiatus FINALLY ends as rivals battle... and what it means for Aussies Mitchell Marsh plays a shot during first Twenty20 international cricket match between Bangladesh and Australia in Dhaka on August 3, 2021.
Meanwhile, Australia have also looked ahead to next year’s Border Gavaskar Trophy by locking in an Australia A tour of India in September and October. It will be the second time in 12 months that Australia A will take on India A in two four-day games and three 50-over games in India.
Last year the likes of Sam Konstas, Nathan McSweeney, Todd Murphy and Cooper Connolly all featured for Australia A in the red ball contests, giving potential Test squad members vital experience in Indian conditions. The four-day games will be played in Puducherry from September 22-25 and September 29 to October 2 before also hosting three 50-over matches on October 6, 9 and 11.
Australia’s first Test in South Africa begins on October 9, meaning a red-ball specialist could possibly play at least the opening game before the first Test in Durban. While it could also give spinners or batters with a good reputation against spin to stake a claim to be in the squad for January and February’s five-Test tour.
