By the time the next World Cup is played, this young core of talented players will be two years older and will be much more experienced at dealing with different types of scenarios. It is only natural, isn’t it? The more these players play, the better they get at what they do.

Bangladesh take on Australia for two Test matches at home. After that, they tour South Africa to take on the Proteas in two Tests, three ODIs and two T20Is. This is the experience that is needed for the players to develop and it is invaluable in every way.
