Josh Hazlewood on facing Bangladesh: ‘Lot of unknowns, but I think it’s exciting’ · indianexpress.com

A cricket team from Bangladesh is coming to play against Australia in Darwin, a city in Australia.

The match will be played at a ground called Marrara Cricket Ground.

This ground hasn't hosted a Test match in 22 years, which is a very long time.

Josh Hazlewood is an Australian player who bowls the ball very fast.

He said there are a lot of unknowns before this game.

The team doesn't know exactly how the ground or the pitch will behave.

They also don't know how the Bangladesh batters will play in these conditions.

Hazlewood said this is exciting and refreshing.

He mentioned the team has footage of the Bangladesh batters to study.

But they may also need to make up plans during the game as they learn.
