Pat ******* mins' captaincy record took an unwanted turn after Australia suffered a nine-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on Sunday.
The match ended inside four days, with Australia conceding a 228-run first-innings lead before setting Bangladesh only 57 runs to win in the fourth innings. The visitors reached the target in 14.2 overs, losing just one wicket.
The defeat was Australia's first-ever home Test loss against Bangladesh and also added ******* mins to an unwanted list.
Cummins, who has been Australia's Test captain since the 2021-22 Ashes, became only the second Australian captain after Greg Chappell to lose home Tests against two different Asian teams.
Chappell lost two home Tests against Pakistan — in Sydney in January 1977 and Melbourne in December 1981 — and another against India in Melbourne in February 1981.
Cummins has now lost one home Test against India, in Perth in November 2024, and one against Bangladesh in Darwin in August 2026.
Bangladesh needed only three Tests to record their first Test win in Australia. They are now the fastest Asian team and the second-fastest team overall to win a Test on Australian soil.
Fast bowler Hasan Mahmud played a key role in the victory, taking nine wickets across the match to claim the Player of the Match award. He picked up six wickets in Australia's first innings and three in the second.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz also contributed with both bat and ball. He scored a half-century in the first innings before taking five wickets in the second.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 84 in the first innings, while opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim made 101 off 197 ******* .
For Australia, Josh Hazlewood took six wickets in the first innings, while Cameron Green scored 104 in the second innings. However, the rest of the Australian side could not make enough of an impact as Bangladesh completed their first Test victory in Australia.

Bangladesh pulled off a nine-wicket win over Australia in Darwin on Sunday, giving them one of the biggest wins in Test cricket and leaving Australia's 20-Test schedule over the next 12 months off to a difficult start.
Cameron Green's maiden Test century at home delayed the result, but Bangladesh had already taken control of the match after three-and-a-half days of cricket on a Marrara Stadium pitch that offered a good contest between bat and ball.
The result was unexpected given the records of the two teams. Australia had reached the last two World Test Championship (WTC) finals and won 18 of their previous 23 Tests. Bangladesh, meanwhile, had lost 22 of their previous 26 Tests outside Asia and had suffered innings defeats against Zimbabwe and a Cricket Australia XI in the previous two months.
Yet Najmul Hossain Shanto's side produced a nine-wicket win in their first Test in Australia since 2003. It was Bangladesh's first long-format tour of Australia in 23 years and one of the biggest results in the country's 40-year history in international cricket.
The result has also changed the WTC picture.
Before the Darwin Test, Bangladesh were fourth in the WTC standings, one place above India. However, they had played only four Tests at that stage — losing 0-1 to Sri Lanka and beating Pakistan 2-0 at home — so their position was largely viewed in the context of the small number of matches they had played.
Their win in Darwin has now pushed Bangladesh to 66.67 per cent, while India remain on 48.15 per cent.
India had entered the Sri Lanka series after drawing 2-2 in England and beating the West Indies 2-0 at home. Their progress was then checked by a 0-2 home series defeat to South Africa.
The two Tests in Sri Lanka were expected to be an important part of India's push for a place in next year's WTC final. But rain disrupted the second day of the opening Test in Galle after India had made a strong start, while more rain is forecast over the next three days.
Bangladesh's win in Darwin has widened the gap between them and India to more than 18 percentage points.
For India, the remaining WTC schedule leaves little room for dropped points. After Sri Lanka, they travel to New Zealand for two Tests before hosting Australia in a five-Test series.
New Zealand have proved difficult opponents for India in their own conditions, while India may need something close to a 4-0 series win against Australia to remain in contention for the WTC final.
The current WTC standings are:
Australia — 77.77%
South Africa — 75%
New Zealand — 72.22%
Bangladesh — 66.67%

Australia captain Pat ***** mins admitted his side were outplayed in all departments after Bangladesh completed a historic nine-wicket victory in the first Test at Darwin's Marrara Oval on Sunday.
The defeat gave Bangladesh their first Test win on Australian soil and only their second victory over Australia, following their maiden triumph in Dhaka in 2017.
Cummins pointed to Australia's first-innings performance as the key turning point, conceding that his side needed to find a way to bat for longer after Bangladesh's bowlers made early inroads.
"Probably that day one. You know, I thought our preparation was pretty much spot on. I thought it was excellent. So, no excuses. They played really well. I thought the day one wicket was doing a little bit early, but obviously got to try and find a way to bat a little bit longer than we did, and then, just couldn't penetrate with the ball," ***** mins said after the match.
Australia were dismissed for 198 in their first innings after ***** mins won the toss and elected to bat. Bangladesh responded with 426, taking a commanding 228-run lead that ultimately proved decisive.
The hosts showed more resistance in their second innings, reaching 284, with Cameron Green scoring a century. However, Mehidy Hasan Miraz's five-wicket haul helped Bangladesh restrict Australia's lead to just 56 runs before the visitors chased down the target in 14.2 overs.
Cummins acknowledged that Bangladesh maintained control once they had established their advantage.
"Yeah, they did. I think they outplayed us in all facets, really. I thought they were really patient and quite disciplined. And, yeah, once we were behind, it was really hard to get back," he said.
The Australian captain also admitted that the team's batting performances could come under scrutiny before the second Test in Mackay, Queensland, beginning on August 22.
"I think every time there's a game like this, you always kind of look at your match-ups and your make-up of the team for the next one. But, we only just finished, so we'll have a think about it. We're pretty good at bouncing back, so no doubt the batters and every group will get together and have a good think about this one and where we can improve," ***** mins said.
While Australia's batting came under pressure, ***** mins praised Josh Hazlewood for reaching the milestone of 300 Test wickets. Hazlewood finished with six wickets across Bangladesh's two innings.
"Josh, he hasn't had a great run for injuries the last couple of years, but he's one of the hardest workers and just showed his class. And, you know, didn't have too much in it, seam-wise, still picking up six really important wickets. So he was fantastic," ***** mins said.
He also singled out Green, whose 104 was his third Test century and first in Australia. The allrounder spent 201 ***** at the crease and combined with Australia's lower order to prevent Bangladesh from winning by an innings.

Bangladesh moved within touching distance of one of the biggest Test victories in their history after reducing Australia to 161/4 at stumps on Day 3 of the first Test at Marrara Stadium on Saturday. The hosts remain 67 runs behind Bangladesh's first-innings total of 426, leaving the visitors needing just six more wickets to secure a historic Test victory on Australian soil.
Cameron Green remained unbeaten on 43, while Alex Carey was not out on 19 as Australia battled to survive the final session. However, the hosts still face the daunting task of first erasing the deficit before setting Bangladesh a target in the fourth innings.
Hasan Mahmud once again proved to be Australia's biggest problem, taking two wickets in the second innings after claiming 6/55 in the first innings. The fast bowler dismissed both openers cheaply, with Jake Weatherald falling for a duck and Travis Head departing for 17. Both batters chopped the ball onto their stumps while attempting cut shots.
Mahmud's two wickets took his match tally to eight, putting Bangladesh firmly in control.
Bangladesh resumed Day 3 on 351/6 and eventually posted 426, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz playing a crucial role in extending the visitors' lead. Mehidy scored 65 off 154 ****** and added valuable partnerships with Hasan Mahmud, Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed to guide Bangladesh past the 400-run mark.
After contributing with the bat, Mehidy returned to make another crucial impact with the ball, removing Steve Smith for 44 late in the day. Smith appeared set to guide Australia out of trouble before Mehidy took a sharp caught-and-bowled chance to reduce the hosts to 122/4.
Josh Hazlewood was the standout bowler for Australia, claiming all four Bangladesh wickets to fall on Saturday and finishing with 6/89. His dismissal of Mehidy was particularly significant as it brought up Hazlewood's 300th Test wicket. He became the fourth member of Australia's famed pace attack to reach the landmark and the ninth Australian bowler overall.
Hazlewood then dismissed Ebadot Hossain for seven to wrap up Bangladesh's innings at 426.
Australia's top order once again failed to provide a strong platform. Weatherald was dismissed without scoring before Head followed for 17, leaving Australia struggling at 37/2. Marnus Labuschagne showed some intent but was eventually bowled by Taijul Islam for 31 off 59 ****** after missing a straight delivery. Smith's dismissal then left Australia reeling at 122/4 before Green and Carey steadied the innings.
Australia's biggest successful comeback from a first-innings deficit at home came in 2010, when they recovered from 206 runs behind Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground. With Australia still 67 runs short of even drawing level, Bangladesh have placed themselves in an excellent position to create history in the first Test of the two-match series.

Test cricket returns to Australia's tropical Top End for the first time since 2003 when the hosts take on Bangladesh in a two-match series beginning Thursday.
The first Test at Marrara Stadium in Darwin will be Bangladesh's first Test tour of Australia in more than 20 years. It also starts a 12-month period in which Australia are scheduled to play at least 20 Tests, including series against South Africa, India and England.
Australia are set to bring back their main bowling attack, with Pat **** mins, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon returning from injuries. Mitchell Starc is also in the side.
Injuries have meant the four have rarely played together in recent series. Hazlewood's expected return means Scott Boland will miss out, while allrounders Cameron Green and Beau Webster are also in the starting XI.
"We know Scotty's class, it is always a pretty tight call," **** mins said at a press conference on Wednesday. "There is not much you can say to Scotty except there is a lot of cricket coming up.
"He knows his worth, and how good he is, and I am sure he will be out there at some point pretty soon."
Australia's bowling attack looks settled, but there are questions over the batting order.
Jake Weatherald, the first Test player from Australia's Northern Territory, has kept his place after Australia's Ashes win over England last season despite his recent form. He is expected to open with Travis Head.
Usman Khawaja's retirement has allowed Australia to play both Green and Webster in the same XI. Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith will bat at No. 3 and No. 4, with Labuschagne also looking for runs to strengthen his position in the side.
Bangladesh will be without Nahid Rana, Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam for the first Test. Shoriful could return for the second match in Mackay from August 22 to 26.
Rana, 23, is one of Bangladesh's quickest bowlers and was a key part of their ODI series win over Australia two months ago. He suffered a side strain during a T20I against Zimbabwe in July.
The series against Bangladesh begins a schedule of 20 Tests for Australia over the next 12 months, with another match possible if they qualify for the World Test Championship final.
After the second Bangladesh Test, Australia will tour South Africa for three Tests in October. They will then host New Zealand for four Tests before a five-Test series in India.
Australia will also play a one-off day-night Test against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March to mark the 150th anniversary of matches between the two countries.
The schedule will conclude with an away Ashes series beginning in June.

Test cricket returns to Australia's tropical Top End for the first time since 2003 when the hosts face Bangladesh in a two-match series starting Thursday.
The series opener at Marrara Stadium in Darwin marks Bangladesh's first test tour Down Under in over two decades and kicks off a 12-month period of 20 test matches for the Aussies including tours of world test champion South Africa, India and England.
Australia's so-called Big Four could be reunited in the hosts bowling attack with Pat ******* mins, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon returning from injuries.
Pace bowlers ******* mins, Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc and offspinner Lyon have been the longtime front line attack for Australia but injuries have limited the frequency of all four combining in the same XI in recent series.
The inclusion of evergreen pace bowler Scott Boland in the squad, with allrounders Cameron Green and Beau Webster, gives Australia plenty of options with the ball.

Bangladesh were bowled out for just 54 in their second innings to lose their three-day tour match against a Cricket Australia XI by an innings and 38 runs, giving Australia's bowling attack plenty to take note of ahead of next week's first Test in Darwin.
Campbell Thompson was the main contributor to Bangladesh's collapse, taking eight wickets for 25 runs in the second innings at Marrara Oval. The 22-year-old left-arm fast bowler had taken two wickets late on Friday before returning on Saturday morning to claim six more as Bangladesh lost eight wickets for 35 runs.
Marrara Oval, where the tour match was played, is different from Marrara Stadium, which will host the first Test from Thursday.
Thompson made his South Australia debut last summer and has played only one Sheffield Shield match and two One-Day Cup games. He had, however, faced international opposition previously when he represented the Prime Minister's XI against the England Lions in November last year.
Bangladesh began the third morning at 15 for two in their second innings but lasted only 17 more overs. Opener Tanzid Hasan was the only batter to reach double figures, scoring 22.
Thompson took the first five wickets to fall after beginning Bangladesh's collapse the previous evening. Off-spinner Corey Rocchiccioli then briefly took over, adding to the six wickets he had claimed in Bangladesh's first innings.
Thompson soon returned to finish the job. He dismissed Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto lbw for a duck before taking the final two wickets with consecutive deliveries.
The defeat leaves Bangladesh with four days to prepare for their first Test in Australia in 23 years, where they are set to face Mitchell Starc, Pat **** mins and Josh Hazlewood.
Bangladesh had scored 263 in their first innings, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz making a century at No. 7 after the top order struggled on the opening day. The CA XI replied with 355, while Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud took four wickets for 42 runs.
