The 2019 Cricket World Cup fixture has just been announced, with Australia's title defence campaign starting out a little easier, taking on the two lowest ranked teams in the tournament.
There will be a total of 10 nations involved in the tournament and they will all face-off against each other before the top-four move on to the finals stages of the competition.
The tournament will feature a total of seven day-night matches, with Australia's opening match against Afghanistan in Bristol on June 1st being one of them.
The pink ball will feature in three total games for Australia, set to play day-night matches against South Africa, Afghanistan and the Black Caps, while the remaining matches will be regular day games.
There are four teams - England, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India - in the tournament that will not be participating in a day-night match throughout the regular competition stage.
