Story summary

Bangladesh's cricket team is preparing for a potentially tougher challenge from Australia in the second Test, which starts on Saturday in Mackay, after their surprise nine-wicket victory in the first Test in Darwin. Bangladesh coach Phil Simmons warned his players to expect a "harder" Australia team in response to their previous defeat. The only change to Australia's team is the inclusion of Matt Renshaw, who will open the batting, at the expense of Jake Weatherald. This is the first Test in the World Test Championship series between the two teams.
