They will play five T20 Internationals and three ODIs in the Caribbean.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After Australia, New Zealand will tour Bangladesh for a three-match T20 International series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The trips by Australia and New Zealand to Bangladesh assume significance since they are considered preparation for the T20 World Cup to be held in October-November in India or possibly UAE.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;As you may have known, Australia have agreed to increase their T20I series from three to five matches,&quot; Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) cricket operations chairman Akram Khan told his country&#39;s media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It will be held over eight or nine days. We are trying to be well prepared for the World Cup T20,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia were supposed to travel to Bangladesh for Test matches last year but the trip was cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\r\n",
