Campbell Thompson takes 8 for 25 as Bangladesh collapse for 54 in Darwin warm-up

Josh Hazlewood said Australia face several unknowns ahead of the Test series against Bangladesh, which begins in Darwin on August 13. The fast bowler noted that the Marrara Cricket Ground has not hosted a Test in 22 years, the pitch behaviour is unclear, and Bangladesh's approach in Australian conditions remains to be seen. He said plans may need to be adjusted during the game rather than relying solely on pre-match analysis. Hazlewood added that the pitch may offer less bounce and seam movement than typical Australian surfaces and could behave more like conditions in Bangladesh. The series is part of Australia's home summer but scheduled outside the usual November start.
