Thanks to impressive performances with South Australia, off-spinner Dan Cullen was called up to the Test team and played his first and only Test against Bangladesh at Chittagong where he ended the match with match figures of 1/54.

Cullen was also selected in the second-string Australian side to take on Bangladesh in the ODIs where he took two wickets in the third ODI at Fatullah.

Prior to the 2006 Champions Trophy, Stuart Clark picked up an injury and was ruled out of the tournament. Hence, Cullen was called up to the team as his replacement. However, Cullen played no part in the tournament as Australia played only two spinners in Brad Hogg and Andrew Symonds.
