Key Player Battles to Watch in Bangladesh Tour of Australia 2026

Pat Cummins vs Najmul Hossain Shanto

Pat Cummins will be one of Australia's biggest threats with the new ball, while Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto carries the responsibility of leading the visitors' batting. 

Steve Smith vs Taijul Islam

Smith has the patience and experience to handle spin, but Taijul's control could make this an important battle, particularly as the Tests progress.

Mitchell Starc vs Litton Das

Litton Das’ counter-attacking style could create scoring opportunities, but Starc's pace and trademark yorkers will constantly threaten his wicket.
