Bangladesh Team Bangladesh will be led by Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the ODI series. The squad retains 13 players from the recent ODI series against New Zealand, which Bangladesh won. Mosaddek Hossain and Nurul Hasan return to the national side, expected to strengthen the team. The T20I squad is yet to be announced.
Australia Team Australia will be captained by Josh Inglis for both the ODI and T20I series. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head are unavailable for the ODI series, though Marsh is expected to join the team for the T20I series.
