Australia have omitted the star pace trio of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc from their squads for the upcoming white-ball series against England.<\/p>\n
The veteran seamers played all three Tests in the recent 2-1 series defeat by South Africa and have been rested for the three-match ODI series that starts in Perth on 13 November.<\/p>\n
Cummins and Hazlewood have also been left out for the five-match T20 series that begins on 21 November, while Starc, 36, has already retired from the format.<\/p>\n
Fast bowler Mahli Beardman, 21, has been named in both squads and could make his international debut in ODIs, while the uncapped pair of Sam Harper and Lachlan Shaw have been included for the T20s.<\/p>\n
Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Josh Inglis and Matt Renshaw, who also played in the South Africa series, are included for the ODIs but do not feature in the T20 squad.<\/p>\n
Although Cummins, 33, formally remains the ODI captain, he has only played one 50-over fixture since November 2024 and Mitchell Marsh, his frequent deputy and T20 skipper, will step in again for the longer format.<\/p>\n
Seamer Nathan Ellis, a white-ball regular, is only included in the T20 squad after suffering a side strain in the September ODI tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe, while fellow pacer Jack Edwards is named in both squads after making his debut on that trip.<\/p>\n
All-rounder Liam Scott, who played one 50-over match against Bangladesh in June, is recalled to the ODI squad, while spinners Nikhil Chaudhary and Joel Davies, who both made their only T20 appearances on the same tour, are selected for the 20-over fixtures.<\/p>\n
Top-order batters Jake Fraser-McGurk and Mitchell Owen are recalled to the T20 squads after not featuring in recent series, while Tim David is only selected for the shorter format despite a recent return to 50-over domestic cricket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia have omitted the star pace trio of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc from their squads…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821605,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-821604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
