AUS vs ENG ODI series: The Australian cricket team has announced their squad for the upcoming ODI series against England. There is no rest for Pat Cummins and other pacers as Australia named a strong 14-member squad to play in the series, which begins right after the T20 World Cup 2022. Notably, Travis Head has replaced Aaron Finch in the squad and is likely to partner with David Warner for the opening slot.
Australia and England are set to lock horns against each other in a three-match ODI series that is scheduled to be played Down Under. The series begins four days after the T20 World Cup final. Australia crashed out of the tournament in the Super 12 stage and the pace bowlers will be playing in the series against England ahead of a busy Summer for the Aussies.
After selecting the squad, Australia's chair of selectors George Bailey said, "Our focus is to continue to build a squad with an eye to next year’s World Cup under Pat as the new ODI captain, so it’s an important series. Travis Head returns in place of Aaron Finch having played well in Pakistan and Sri Lanka earlier in the year. He has demonstrated flexibility in the types of roles he can play in our ODI line-up."
