· Sports · ABC News (AU), Cricbuzz, ESPNCricinfo
Australia and Bangladesh will play the second and final Test of their series at Mackay's Harrup Park, which is set to become the 12th venue in Australia to host a Test match. The match begins on Saturday, August 22, at 10:00am AEST, following a nine-wicket victory for Bangladesh in the first Test in Darwin. Australia has made one change to its squad, bringing in Matt Renshaw to replace Jake Weatherald. Harrup Park has previously hosted white-ball international games and youth Tests but has limited experience with professional red-ball cricket. The match will be broadcast via the ABC Listen App and the ABC Sport live blog.

This match is a critical test for the Australian team following their historic loss in the series opener and marks the debut of a new international cricket venue.
