Cricket Australia announces a 14-member squad for the ODI series vs Pakistan, with Cummins returning. Head and Marsh are out on paternity leave.
Cricket Australia has announced a 14-member squad for the three-match ODI series against Pakistan. The series will kick off from November 4th to 10th.
Australia Skipper Pat Cummins is set to return to the set-up after his last outing in the 2023 World Cup triump against India. After Australia's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, Cummins had a brief stint in Major League Cricket and took rest for two months after that.
Cricket Australia has announced the squad early this morning, on Monday, 14 October. The team has a good blend of both experience and youth. Jake Fraser-McGurk got another chance to showcase his talent, hoping to steal a permanent spot in the team. Earlier, he played just one match (T20I) in the England series.
Cooper Connolly and all-rounder Aaron Hardie also got their name after a stellar performance against England last month
The regular names in the white-ball squad, like Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, and Josh Hazlewood, also got their names in the squad.
However, the top-order batters Travis Head and Mitch Marsh are granted paternity leave and will miss the tournament.
Cameron Green, one of the most prominent youngster in the squad, will miss the series due to his injury. He will necessarily miss the game for at least six months as he will have to undergo surgery for his lower back pain.
