Healy banks on recent experience to tackle Bangladesh conditions
Australia skipper Alyssa Healy believes that the recent experience in India will help her side adapt better for the upcoming multi-format tour of Bangladesh. 

"Having that knowledge and experience, in particular coming from the WPL, the Delhi wicket, in particular, was a little bit low and a little bit slow which doesn't traditionally suit an Australian batting line-up," Healy said.

"I think there is enough experience within our group and enough communication in particular, to make sure that we're adapting to those conditions and still being able to score runs when they don't quite suit us.

"The nature of modern-day cricket is that you're constantly jumping from tournament to international cricket, and vice versa. So I'd say to an extent, it's somewhat of an advantage coming from playing cricket."

Bangladesh have met Australia only thrice in international cricket, and all these meetings have come in ICC tournaments. Healy looked at the upcoming tour as a rare opportunity for her group.

"For the majority (of our squad), it is for the very first time to get the opportunity to play against the Bangladesh team, which outside of World Cups is a very rare thing for us. So it's an exciting opportunity for our group," she said.
