NEW DELHI: The National Selection Panel (NSP) on Monday announced the men’s squads for the ODI International Series against Pakistan and the Australia A matches against India.
Australia are set to play three ODI matches against Pakistan next month, followed by three T20 games, with the T20 squad to be announced in due course.
Australia A will face India A in two first-class matches in Mackay and Melbourne.
Australian Chair of Selectors George Bailey commented, “This is our last ODI series before the Champions Trophy and the balance of the squad was focussed on that as well as continuing to focus on preparation of individuals for the upcoming Test Summer.

He added, “The one-day side had a great result in the UK, particularly given illness and injury challenges. We view this as an opportunity to expand on that achievement in preparation for next February in Pakistan.”
Bailey further expressed, “We are really excited by this squad, particularly after some of the tremendous performances to start the Sheffield Shield season.

He emphasized, “As always with Australia A selection, we have picked a side we hope can present performances which are compelling for the upcoming Test summer, whilst also rewarding players for strong domestic form in roles we see as being important further afield.
Bailey concluded, “Australia A squads are pleasingly challenging to select, which highlights the depth and talent coming through to accompany those more senior players on the edge of international recall. It will be a great opportunity for these players to shine against a strong Test nation looking to prepare for what is going to be a captivating summer of Test cricket.”
