Mosaddek Hossain struck a career-best 86 not out on his return to international cricket as Bangladesh recovered to post 284-8 against a sloppy Australia in the opening one-day international in Dhaka on Tuesday (June 9, 2026).

The all-rounder, recalled after a four-year absence, took charge against the Australian spinners, hitting seven fours and three sixes in his 70-ball knock at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

Bangladesh benefited from Australia’s poor display in the field, with the visitors putting down as many as six catches, four of them off Mosaddek.

Opener Tanzid Hasan and number three Najmul Hossain Shanto gave Bangladesh a solid platform, with the left-handed pair hitting half-centuries.

Tanzid struck 54 off 44 balls before Nathan Ellis removed him in his second spell.

Shanto, continuing his rich vein of form, made 67 off 86 before a soft dismissal ended his innings.

The pair put on 96 runs for the second wicket off 91 balls after Australia struck early, with Ellis accounting for Saif Hassan (5) who edged to second slip where Marnus Labuschagne took a simple catch.

Australia threatened to seize control when Matt Renshaw’s part-time off-spin proved surprisingly effective, removing Litton Das (7) with a return catch before also accounting for Shanto.

But Mosaddek steadied the innings, first adding 75 with Towhid Hridoy, before late partnerships of 20 with Tanvir Islam and 45 with Taskin Ahmed to ensure a competitive total.

Ellis was the pick of the Australia bowlers with 3-38, while debutant Liam Scott and Renshaw claimed two wickets each.

Australia has left fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood out of its limited overs squads for upcoming tours of Pakistan and Bangladesh later this month.

The trio will miss the three-match series against Pakistan starting May 30, with uncapped all-rounder Liam Scott and Australia Under-19 World Cup captain Ollie Peake earning their first senior international call-ups in a new-look Australian squad.

Young batter Joel Davies is another new face after he was selected for the T20 series against Bangladesh in June.

Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis and Xavier Bartlett will travel to Bangladesh once their Indian Premier League commitments are completed, while veteran all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was omitted altogether.

Mitchell Marsh will be the captain across both tours as Australia begins its preparations for the Cricket World Cup to be held in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe in October next year.

Selection chairman George Bailey said the tours presented opportunities for emerging players.

“It’s always exciting to see new players get an opportunity to play international cricket and be a part of the national team,” Bailey said. “The blend of experienced players coupled with new or returning players will provide a nice mix for these subcontinent tours.

“Continuing to provide opportunities for players to develop across a broad range of conditions and experiences is important and will continue to be a focus over the next 18 months to two years.” Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood are expected to use the break to prepare for Australia’s World Test Championship campaign, which resumes in August in a two-test home series against Bangladesh.

Australia plays Pakistan in three ODIs in Rawalpindi (May 30) and Lahore (June 2 and 4) before traveling to Bangladesh for three ODI games in Dhaka (June 9, 11 and 14) and three T20 Internationals in Chattogram (June 17, 19 and 21).
