Australia’s 13-member squad for the T20I series against Pakistan does not feature the Test regulars. It does not have a captain either.
Australia have named a 13-member squad for the three T20Is against Pakistan, to be played at Brisbane on November 14, Sydney on November 16, and Hobart on November 18.
The squad does not include Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Steve Smith, or even regular T20I captain Mitchell Marsh, all of whom are likely to feature in the five-match Test series against India, which will begin four days after the third T20I. However, the now-fit Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, and Spencer Johnson are all part of the squad.
“This group of players have all represented Australia in T20 cricket, so we look forward to them continuing to enhance their international experience throughout this series.” said chair of selectors George Bailey.
One curious feature of the squad is the lack of an official captain, which left some bemused.
