Australia women's team announced for tour of Bangladesh
Spinners have always had an advantage in the field of Bangladesh, especially in Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla. All the matches of the series will be held in this field. Therefore, the Australian women's cricket team has announced the team with an excess of spinners in the squad. The world champions are coming to Bangladesh with four expert spinners.
Australia's spin attack will be led by Ashley Gardner who has been in great form lately. He can also drive the bat well. She is accompanied by left-arm spinner Sophie Molyneux and leg-spinners Alanna King and Georgia Wareham. However, experienced left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen has been dropped.
As a surprise, pacer Tayla Valemic returned to the team after almost two years. This pacer has the experience of bowling at a speed of 14 km per hour. Still it is difficult for him to get a place in the eleven. Pacers Megan Shute and Darcy Brown are in the squad along with pace bowling all-rounders Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, Kim Garth and Annabelle Sutherland.
