AUS vs BAN: Bangladesh team is currently on Australia tour for 2 test match series. The first test match between the two teams will be played at Darwin's ground from 13th August. Before this Test series, Bangladesh has had to face the problem of injuries to many of its key players, but in the meantime, just before the start of the series, a good news is coming for Bangladesh. Actually, Bangladesh's star wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das is completely fit to play the first match. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto confirmed Liton Das's fitness in a press conference held a day before the Darwin Test match. He said that Liton Das is available for selection in the first match.

Will decide on playing 11 after seeing the pitch

The first test match between Australia and Bangladesh will be played on the Darwin grounds from 13th August. Regarding this match, Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto said that our batting becomes stronger with the arrival of Liton Das. He plays well consistently. We hope that our batting will be good in the test match.

Nazmul Hussain Shanto, while answering the question regarding playing-11, said that Darwin's pitch looks good. I think we can go with our normal combination, which will be 2 spinners and 3 fast bowlers, but tomorrow morning we will get a chance to see the pitch again and then we will decide according to the conditions. Let us tell you that Bangladesh team will play a Test series in Australia for the first time since 2003. In such a situation, this series is considered very important for Bangladesh. Bangladesh team would like to create history by defeating Australia at home.

The host announced his playing 11

With the first test against Bangladesh, the Australian team is going to be very busy for the next one year. The team also has to play several test series, including the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. In such a situation, it will not be easy for Australia to manage the workload of its important players. Australia has announced its playing-11 a day before for the first test against Bangladesh. Star fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has returned to the team. Scott Boland, who performed brilliantly in the Ashes, could not get a place in the playing-11 of this match. Australia will play in the first test with all its experienced players except one or two players. In such a situation, this match is not going to be easy for Bangladesh.
