Australia is returning to Bangladesh for its first bilateral men's ODI series in the country in 15 years and will also play T20Is
Australia will end a 15-year gap between one-day matches in Bangladesh this winter with confirmation of six white-ball fixtures in the country in June.
With the tour to also include three T20I fixtures, a fresh broadcast rights agreement struck this week will mean there is no repeat of Australia's previous tour which was blacked out to Australian viewers, making this the first men's white-ball bilateral series in Bangladesh that has been viewable in Australia since 2011.
Australia will play three ODI matches in Dhaka from June 9 followed by three T20Is in Chattogram from June 17 in a trip that will last less than a fortnight but is part of a wider subcontinent tour.
That would clash with the expected final of this year's Indian Premier League, which is reportedly set to hold its final on May 31.
National Selector George Bailey revealed earlier this month there would be a pre-tour training camp in Brisbane for Australia's available white-ball hopefuls.
"We've got a batch of camps in May, before the Pakistan and Bangladesh white-ball series (and we're) focused pretty intently on which players we're going to get there at the moment," Bailey said on April 1, when the new national contracts were announced.
