Dazn has bought the UK rights for Australia’s Test series against Bangladesh this month in a landmark deal for the global streaming platform.

The two Test matches in Darwin and Mackay in Australia’s Top End will be the first time Dazn, whose main focus is football and combat sports, broadcasts international cricket in what could be a significant development for the market.
