Australia face potential $44,000 fine and points deduction after Bangladesh Test breach

Australia breached an ICC over-rate rule in the first Test against Bangladesh in Darwin. The governing body hasn't decided if the team will face sanctions after their nine-wicket defeat.

That loss marked the first time Bangladesh had beaten Australia at home. Captain Pat Cummins said the batting collapse followed a longer pattern and selectors might now look at changes before the second Test in Mackay.

Australia must win that match to keep the series alive. The threat of fines and points deductions adds another layer of pressure to a side already facing questions after the result.
