Australian hard-hitting middle-order batter Alex Ross was excited to be coming to the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) for the first time to play for Durdanto Dhaka after finishing his Big Bash League commitment with Sydney Thunder.

"Very excited. It all happened really quickly for me but yeah really excited to be part of it. I have watched it a little bit on TV and watched the game the other night from the flight and the boys played really well, so I am excited to join the team now," Ross told reporters on Sunday.

Bangladesh wickets have a tricky nature due to weather conditions at this time of the year.

Australia national team also struggled in Bangladesh as the have lost a T20 series 4-1 in 2021. Ross admitted that wickets in Australia, too, have not always been very batting friendly.

"We actually had some poor wickets for batting in the Big Bash this year. So we got a little bit of experience with the ball spinning, little bit slower too. It's not so different as it appears on TV sometimes," he said.
