It might give you a hint as to what’s happened – if there has been a seven-goal thriller, for example – but we won’t be giving you the winner or the result.
Dr Christopher Tibbs, regional medical director for NHS England, said that young people were put at a high risk of harm because clinicians provided “specialist diagnosis, care and treatment that they were neither qualified, nor commissioned to deliver”.
The voyage of discovery for Australia‘s depleted one-day squad now moves to Dhaka against a Bangladesh side who are confident on their own turf. The visitors had hoped for reinforcements by now but that hasn’t proved the case with captain Mitchell Marsh still sidelined and Travis Head granted leave from the whole tour. But they were not a million miles away from beating Pakistan in spin-heavy conditions.
It is the first men’s bilateral ODI series between these teams for 15 years. One of the intriguing aspects of this leg of the tour is what conditions will confront Australia in only their second ODI series in the country. In times gone by it would have been billed as another trial by spin, but it may not play out that way this time. Pace bowling is now having a big say in Bangladesh. Across the six ODIs played this year – five of which have been in Mirpur, the venue for this series – pace bowlers have taken 69 wickets at 22.60 while spin has accounted for 26 at 35.50.
Having largely relied on Nathan Ellis for the last two matches in Pakistan – and even he was effectively bowling fast cutters most of the time – along with a handful of overs from Cameron Green, the likes of Xavier Bartlett and Ben Dwarshuis could well have a role to play.
Should pace play a significant part that should, in theory, provide a more familiar challenge for Australia’s batters. However, a home attack that could consist of Nahid Rana, Taskin Ahmed and the variations of Mustafizur Rahman should pose plenty of questions, especially for those struggling for form such as Marnus Labuschagne – if he is able to retain his place in the side. That isn’t to say spin won’t be a threat as well, with Bangladesh well covered in that department. Either way, it’s been a country where the bowlers are in the game: there hasn’t been an ODI total over 300 in Bangladesh since 2023.
The hosts have won their last four series at home – against Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan and New Zealand – and while each of those teams have had problems of their own, Bangladesh have found a formula that is working.

In the spotlight: Nahid Rana and Marnus Labuschagne
Australia will get their first look at Nahid Rana who is emerging as one of the most exciting pace-bowling prospects in the world. In the recent six ODIs against Pakistan and New Zealand he took 16 wickets at 17.43. He impressed, too, in the Tests against Pakistan which is something to keep in the back pocket with Bangladesh touring Australia for two matches in August.
It might prove fortunate for Marnus Labuschagne that Marsh and Head have not made this series as it leaves him as one of the more experienced members of the squad. However, whether that saves his place in the XI remains to be seen. He had a poor series in Pakistan with scores of 0, 5 and 19 – although his last dismissal was a run out in a mix-up with Josh Inglis – but his ODI woes extend much further: in his last 13 innings he has a top score of 47 and averages 12.46.
Team news: Mosaddek could end long wait; balance of attack question for Australia
Mosaddek Hossain will most likely return to the Bangladesh ODI side for the first time since August 2022, while the pace attack will include the first choice trio.
Australia will likely need an extra pace bowler compared to how they finished the Pakistan series. Both Bartlett and Dwarshuis offer something with the bat, too, which is helpful for the balance of the lower order. Cooper Connolly remains available as a batter only, at least for the ODI series, and both he and the uncapped allrounder Liam Scott could put pressure on Labuschagne if the batting order was shuffled.
Australia (probable): 1 Matt Short, Josh Inglis (capt & wk), 3 Marnus Labuschagne, 4 Alex Carey, 5 Cameron Green, 6 Matt Renshaw, 7 Ollie Peake, 8 Xavier Bartlett, 9 Matt Kuhnemann, 10 Nathan Ellis, 11 Adam Zampa
Pitch and conditions: Weather could play a part
The pitch in Mirpur has been on the more pacy side in the last two ODI series. There will be more likelihood of the side wanting to bat first when winning the toss, although the weather forecast is for rain and thunderstorms throughout the day which could bring chasing under DLS into the equation.
Najmul Hossain Shanto needs 86 runs to reach 2000 in ODIs.
The last time the teams played an ODI was in the 2023 World Cup where Marsh hit an unbeaten 177 off 132 balls to chase down 307.
Bangladesh have only beaten Australia once in ODIs – the famous day in Cardiff in 2005.
Quotes
“I think anytime you take Mitch Marsh and Travis Head out of the team, you lose something. They’re both incredibly good players. It’s unfortunate that they’re not here, but similarly with the Pakistan series we’ve just had, I think it’s really important that a few younger guys are getting some experience in these conditions. Obviously there’s a World Cup on the horizon as well, so to be able to look at some different combinations and some different guys before then, I think it’s really important.” Australia captain Josh Inglis speaks about the absence of top players Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head.
The DOJ announced the “Anti-Weaponization Fund” on May 18, 2026, as part of a settlement agreement in President Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service — a lawsuit Trump filed against the IRS following the leak of his tax returns. The fund was designed to provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims from people who alleged they suffered from government “weaponization.” U.S. Department of Justice
Why it became controversial
The Trump administration said the fund would be available to those who alleged the federal government had been weaponized against them — a refrain popularized by Trump supporters, particularly during the Biden era. Democratic lawmakers called it a “slush fund” for Trump supporters, and even some Republican lawmakers were reluctant to back it. NPR
Lawmakers were particularly concerned that payouts would go to rioters, including those who assaulted police officers during the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack — something the Trump administration didn’t immediately rule out. CNN
Courts step in
A federal judge blocked the DOJ from taking any action to create or disburse money from the fund while a lawsuit challenging it played out in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia. CNBC
Congress pushes back — even Republicans
It became a setback for Trump after Republican senators made clear they did not have the votes to advance a Homeland Security funding bill unless the White House either scaled back or eliminated the fund entirely. PBS
House Speaker Mike Johnson, who spoke with Trump about it, told reporters, “I believe it is off the table for consideration,” and said he informed the president they did not have the votes. He added: “I told him it was a difficult prospect right now given our vote tallies. I understand the intent behind it was a very noble thing… I don’t think it was fully understood and that’s what made it a difficult thing.” CNN
Acting AG kills it — permanently
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche testified before a House subcommittee, flatly stating: “We are not moving forward with the fund, period.” He further clarified that the DOJ would not operate the fund regardless of the outcome of the ongoing lawsuits. NPRCNBC
The DOJ then put it in writing to two federal judges, saying the cases challenging the fund are now moot because the administration has abandoned the program — the first time the Trump administration formally stated in writing it was no longer pursuing the fund. CNN
Trump himself disagrees
In a dramatic twist, President Trump stormed out of a taped interview on NBC’s Meet the Press after being pressed on the fund and on his persistent claims of election fraud. During the interview, Trump said he would still like to see the weaponization fund proceed, despite the setbacks that led Blanche to declare it permanently halted. CNBC

The DOJ also asked a federal appeals court to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions of leaders of far-right groups who had their sentences commuted by Trump but did not receive full pardons. Additionally, the DOJ removed hundreds of news releases related to January 6 prosecutions from its website. Time

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.
I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz.
However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was.
He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

But who knows, maybe that would be the best thing for me. If I didn’t have my parents to think about I’d have given in my notice a long time ago, I’d have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think, tell him everything I would, let him know just what I feel. He’d fall right off his desk!
And it’s a funny sort of business to be sitting up there at your desk, talking down at your subordinates from up there, especially when you have to go right up close because the boss is hard of hearing.
Well, there’s still some hope; once I’ve got the money together to pay off my parents’ debt to him – another five or six years I suppose – that’s definitely what I’ll do. That’s when I’ll make the big change. First of all though, I’ve got to get up, my train leaves at five.
