The Asian side are scheduled to take on Australia in a two-Test series that commences in Darwin on August 13 as part of the ongoing World Test Championship.
“Yeah it is mainly for preparation (for the Australia tour),” Taskin said.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh is still awaiting the results of scans on the star pacer Nahid Rana, as it remains to be seen if the fast bowler will be fit for the opening Test against Australia.
The team are also hopeful experienced batter Litton Das will be able to shake off his calf complaint to feature against Australia, with Bangladesh set to arrive Down Under at the start of next month ahead of a three-day warm-up fixture in Darwin against a Cricket Australia XI from August 3. Agencies
