For the upcoming ODI series between India and Australia, the Aussie side have confirmed their ODI’s squad in which there three impactful players will join the team.
On Thursday, the Australian cricket management have announced their 16-player squad for the series with recovered players like, Glenn Maxwell who suffered a broken leg, Mitchell Marsh with an ankle issue, and fast bowler Jhye Richardson, with hamstring problem. The trio is returning back to international matches in the upcoming series, after a long break.
Australia’s selector, George Bailey said that, the upcoming series will provide some excellent preparation before ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup that will begin from October 2023 in India. Bailey said, “With the World Cup just over seven months away, these matches in India are an important step in our preparation. Glenn, Mitchell and Jhye are all important players in what we think the squad might look like come October.” Experienced seamer Josh Hazlewood is also named in the touring party, despite the right-armer batting an Achilles injury that forced him out of the ongoing Test tour of India.
“It would be great for Josh to be part of this series but we have taken a conservative view ahead of a very important winter in England of which he will be an integral part,” Bailey said.
For addition, the first ODI between India and Australia will be held on March 17 at Wankhede Stadium, followed by the others two in Visakhapatnam and Chennai respectively.
