Australia to host NZ for historic 4-Test series
A historic four-match Test series against New Zealand and a two-Test series against Bangladesh headline Australia's busy international summer, featuring 27 matches across men's and women's cricket.
The season begins with Bangladesh touring for two Tests in August, in Darwin and Mackay. This is followed by a women's white-ball leg with three ODIs and three T20Is across Brisbane and Sydney.
England's white-ball tour follows in November, comprising three men's ODIs and a five-match T20I series.
The marquee stretch of the summer is the historic four-Test series against New Zealand, running from early December to early January in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney.
The women's team then hosts New Zealand for three T20Is and three ODIs in February and March. The summer concludes with a one-off 150th Anniversary Test between Australia and England at the MCG from March 11 to 15.
