T20 World Cup: Australia national selector Shawn Flegler said the women’s team will be aiming to use their first-ever bilateral tour of Bangladesh as preparation and gathering information for the Women’s T20 World Cup to be held in the country later in September this year.

As per the FTP, Australia will be playing a three-match ODI and as many T20I games on their tour of Bangladesh, to be held at the end of March and early April following the second edition of Women’s Premier League (WPL) in India.

Australia’s last trip to Bangladesh was in 2014, when they won the Women’s T20 World Cup, from which four players are still actively playing international cricket: captain Alyssa Healy, premier all-rounder Ellyse Perry, opener Beth Mooney and left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen.
