5 Australian players to watch out for in the Bangladesh Tests

5 Australian players to watch out for in the Bangladesh Tests: Cometh the month of October, we are all set for a festive month in cricket with lot of big series lined-up for us. After 2006, it will be the first time when Australia will be touring Bangladesh for Test matches. They would play 2 Tests against the Bangla Tigers on the tour which will commence from October 9. It will also be the first series for the Australian team in the whites after they lost the Ashes series by 3-2. Australia is going on the tour with a relatively young side as many players including Michael Clarke, Shane Watson, Brad Haddin, Chris Rogers and Ryan Harris recently hung up their boots while David Warner is missing out on the tour due to injury.

Today, let’s have a look at 5 Australian players to watch out for in the Bangladesh Tests:

1. Steve Smith:

The Aussie skipper Steve Smith is seemingly the biggest threat for the Bangladesh side. Since 2014, he has been in dazzling form and has emerged as the face of Australian batting. He will look to carry on his ruthless touch with the bat in this series as well. Smith had pummeled 508 runs in 5 Tests against England at an magnificent average of 56.44. He had ended up as the leading run-scorer in the Ashes 2015. Unlike many other Aussie batters, Smith is very comfortable against spin and uses his feet to perfection against spinners which is likely to pay rich dividends for him in this series as well. Even in India and UAE, he had shown that he can dominate the spinners right from the word go.
