澳大利亚将在达尔文与孟加拉进行两场Test板球比赛[1]。这是澳大利亚23年来首次在主场对阵孟加拉[1]。孟加拉人口达1.78亿,是板球狂热的国家[1]。
自孟加拉于2000年获得Test板球资格以来,已进行158场Test比赛,其中仅6场对阵澳大利亚,在澳大利亚本土的比赛仅2场[1]。相比之下,印度和英格兰对孟加拉共进行了25次Test系列赛[1]。澳大利亚在未来10个月计划进行20场Test,其中11场对阵印度和英格兰[1]。自2008年IPL启动以来,印度进行了61个Test系列赛,英格兰66个,澳大利亚57个[1]。下一个国际板球赛程(FTP)将在2027-2031年期间执行,需要在今年进行谈判和宣布[1]。
Australia will play two Test cricket matches against Bangladesh in Darwin, marking the country's first home series against the South Asian nation in 23 years [1]. The scheduling has drawn criticism for occurring during the Australian football season, a period traditionally reserved for rugby league and Australian rules football [1].
Bangladesh, with a population of 1.78 billion and a cricket-obsessed fanbase, has received limited engagement from Australia despite obtaining Test cricket status in 2000 [1]. Since then, Bangladesh has played 158 Test matches, yet only six have been against Australia, with just two of those held on Australian soil [1]. In contrast, India and England have combined for 25 Test series against Bangladesh [1]. The disparity reflects a broader pattern: over the next 10 months, Australia is scheduled to play 20 Test matches, with 11 of them against India and England alone [1].
Since the Indian Premier League launched in 2008, India has contested 61 Test series, England 66, and Australia 57 [1]. The next international cricket fixture program, set to cover 2027-2031, will require negotiations and announcements this year [1].
