DHAKA, Sept 26: Australia's Test tour of Bangladesh, which is part of the World Test Championship, has been postponed by four months to June-July next year, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced.
The two-match Test series was earlier scheduled to held in February next year.
"According to the FTP (Future Tours Programme), we were supposed to host two Tests in February, but now the Test series will be played in June-July 2020," Chairman of BCB's Cricket Operations Akram Khan was quoted as saying by the ICC.
Khan added that Bangladesh will also host Australia for a three-match T20 series scheduled to take place in October this year.
