Bangladesh name unchanged squad for 2nd Test vs Australia

Dhaka: Bangladesh named an unchanged squad for next week’s series decider against Australia, after clinching a historic win over the tourists in their opening Test in Dhaka on Wednesday. The hosts beat Steven Smith’s men by 20 runs in a thrilling victory on home soil, their first ever win against Australia since gaining Test status in 2000. Mushfiqur Rahim’s men are hoping to seal the series when they square off against Australia in the second and final Test starting at Chittagong on September 4. Australia — who are touring Bangladesh for the first time in more than a decade — are currently ranked fourth to Bangladesh’s lowly ninth in ICC Test rankings. FULL CRICKET SCORECARD: Bangladesh vs Australia 2017, 2nd Test at Chittagong
