Australia announce their home summer as New Zealand, Bangladesh and England tour.

A bumper 4 test series, a one since 2015 against New Zealand will take centre stage as Cricket Australia announced their bumper home summer schedule. Apart from New Zealand, England and Bangladesh too will come touring as LOI series of the men and women’s team have been announced. 

The season begins in the north with Bangladesh touring for two Tests in August, in Darwin and Mackay, before a white-ball leg featuring three ODIs and three T20Is for the women's side, all hosted across Brisbane and Sydney.

Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney have been chosen for the test series against the Kiwis and without Trent Boult and Tim Southee, it would be interesting to see how New Zealand compete with their trans tasman rivals.

The women's team then hosts New Zealand for three T20Is and three ODIs in February and March, before the summer concludes with a one-off 150th Anniversary Test between Australia and England's men's teams at the MCG from March 11 to 15.
