Meanwhile, the Bangladesh are all set to host Australia for two-Test series in October this year. After an excellent home season, this will be Bangladesh’s biggest opportunity to showcase their potential against a world-class team like Australia. First of these two Tests will be played at Chittagong from October 9 to 13. Dhaka will host the second Test from October 17 to 21. Australian pacers Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood are likely to miss this series as the selectors are mulling over giving them some rest ahead of a busy summer. If the duo is rested, it would open the door for Peter Siddle to continue his good work after bowling impressively in the final Ashes Test at The Oval last month. For Bangladesh, there is no injury concern at this point of time. They are expected to prepare spin-friendly pitches to expose the inexperienced Australian batsmen, who struggle on slow decks.
