England will take on Australia in an elaborate white-ball assignment featuring three T20Is and five ODIs. The assignment will be key for both sides to assess where they stand in the format, keeping one eye on the Champions Trophy early next year. England will be without their regular skipper Jos Buttler in the T20Is, with Phil Salt set to stand in for him.
Buttler is still nursing his calf injury and is doubtful for the ODIs as well. Australia, who have the momentum after beating Scotland 3-0, will start as favourites but England at home can't be counted out. The white-ball series will also be a first look at a few new faces including the likes of Jacob Bethell and Dan Mousely as they undergo transition.
