The Pakistan A cricket team toured Australia in July 2024 to play the Bangladesh HP XI.[1] The bilateral series consisted of two four-day matches.[2] The series was hosted by the Northern Territory Cricket Association on behalf of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).[3]

The four-day matches were used by Bangladesh to prepare their Test players for their upcoming ICC World Test Championship fixtures against Pakistan and India.[4] In June 2024, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced the dates of the bilateral series.[5] Pakistan A arrived in Darwin on 14 July 2024.[6]

Following the bilateral fixtures, a tri-nation series was also held involving the two teams along with the Northern Territory cricket team.[7] All the matches of the tour took place in Darwin, Northern Territory, marking Pakistan A's second successive Darwin tour.[8]
