Cameron Green pulls out

Australia have suffered a setback ahead of the Bangladesh T20I series, with Cameron Green opting out to manage his workload before a busy Test season.

Why Green is unavailable

The all-rounder has returned home as Cricket Australia prioritises his fitness ahead of 15 upcoming Tests, including a home series against Bangladesh.

Nikhil's big opportunity

Green's absence could open the door for Delhi-born Nikhil Chaudhary to make his Australia debut in the three-match T20I series.

Who is Nikhil Chaudhary?

The Hobart Hurricanes star is a middle-order batter who can also bowl leg-spin, making him a useful option on Bangladesh's spin-friendly pitches.

Australia get key returns

Captain Mitchell Marsh is back after injury, while Travis Head rejoins the squad after being rested following IPL 2026.

Series starts on June 17

Australia and Bangladesh will play three T20Is in Chattogram on June 17, 19 and 21, with Nikhil Chaudhary's debut now a strong possibility.
