Australia’s tour of Bangladesh is going to start from Tuesday. Both the teams will meet in a series of 5 T20 matches. Australia Cricket Board has announced the captain before the series. Recently, Alex Carey, who led the Kangaroo team in the ODI series against West Indies, has been replaced. In his place, veteran wicket-keeper batsman Matthew Wade has been given the command of Australia in the Bangladesh series.

The team suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of West Indies in the T20I series. On the other hand, Australia showed stamina in the three-match series and thrashed West Indies 2-1.
