Australia take on Scotland in a three-match T20 series starting Wednesday, September 4. This is the first time, the two teams will be involved in a bilateral series and with the 2021 T20 World Cup champions resting some of their senior players, there is excitement around the series about whether the Scottish side will be able to challenge or even beat this Australian side bereft of some of the star players.

This is the first assignment for Australia in the post-David Warner era and a first opportunity for Jake Fraser-McGurk, who will probably fill in the veteran opener's shoes in the future in white-ball cricket. Scotland, on the other hand, have retained all of their T20 World Cup squad members while adding a couple of star performers from the recent ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 matches, Jasper Davidson and Charlie Cassell.

This three-match series will also serve as a good preparation and get some match time in for the Australian players before the England series. Australia would be disappointed with their T20 World Cup performance, having not gotten past the Super 8 stage and hence, will be eager to figure out their core in the shortest format, looking at the next edition of the tournament in India and Sri Lanka in 2026. Scotland, on the other hand, are not here just for participation as Mark Watt said and would want to topple the applecart.
