Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland confirmed the information to Australian ABC Radio.
Sutherland said, England came to Bangladesh last year and got great security. Cricket Australia is no longer worried about security. So Ajira will play with the Tigers before the T20 World Cup.
Earlier, Australia had canceled the series in 2015 due to fears of an extremist attack. Ajira did not send a team to the Under-19 World Cup in 2016. The last time the Australian cricket team visited Bangladesh was in 2017.
Australia and New Zealand were scheduled to come to Bangladesh last year to play two Tests in the ICC Test Championship. Both series were postponed due to Kovid's outburst. Australia later said they would try to make up for it by playing a 20-over series in Bangladesh before the T20 World Cup. That is what is going to get real now.
The next T20 World Cup will be in October-November, in India. Bangladesh will have to play in the preliminary round.
Bangladesh has so far played only four Tests in the ICC Test Championship. The fifth is against the West Indies starting on Thursday.
