Nathan Ellis admitted he was fortunate to be a member of Australia's touring squad in Bangladesh after becoming the first male player to secure a Twenty20 hat-trick on his debut on Friday.

But while the tourists fell short of their first victory in the series by 10 runs, the match still featured a world first for the 26-year-old. "To come out of the other end of it with a hat-trick - it's not something I planned to happen or thought about happening but pretty amazing and it's something I will cherish forever. This whole tour has been a bit of a surreal experience for me.

Australia have sent a weakened side on tour to the West Indies and Bangladesh, with the likes of David Warner and Steve Smith not travelling while captain Aaron Finch returned home due to injury from the Caribbean.
