Pacer Mitchell Starc, all-rounder Matthew Short, and middle-order batter Mitch Owen have returned to the ODI squad. The interesting talking point is Matthew Renshaw’s return to the ODI squad for the first time since 2022.

Meanwhile, Alex Carey will miss the first ODI of the three-match series to play the second round of the Sheffield Shield against Queensland at the Adelaide Oval. On the other hand, Josh Inglis returns to the T20I squad after a minor calf injury alongside Nathan Ellis, who attended the birth of his first child.

Glenn Maxwell has been ruled out due to a fracture in his wrist on the tour to NZ. All-rounder Cameron Green will prepare for the Test summer with Western Australia following the three-match ODI series.

“We have named a squad for the ODI series and first two games of the T20 series as there will be some management through the back end of the series as individuals prepare for the summer through Sheffield Shield cricket,” Chair of Selectors, George Bailey said.

“The majority of the T20 squad will remain together as it’s an important period in the build towards the World Cup next year; however, we are trying to strike a balance to ensure we simultaneously prepare certain individuals for the Test series ahead,” he added.
