The all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and pacer Ben Dwarshuis have been named in the Australia squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against India, which begins on October 29.
Maxwell will be returning to the action for the final three games of the series in India’s tour of Australia 2025 from a fractured wrist, while Dwarshuis has been brought in to return for the fourth and fifth games.
Several players are set to return to domestic duties, and Cricket Australia has confirmed several new faces earning call-ups.
Marnus Labuschagne has been released from the ODI squad ahead of Saturday’s final match in Sydney to prepare for Queensland’s Sheffield Shield clash against New South Wales at The Gabba.
Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott will miss the latter stages of the T20I series against India to play in NSW’s round four Shield match against Victoria at the SCG from November 10.
Meanwhile, Matthew Kuhnemann and Jack Edwards have been recalled for the Sydney match. Kuhnemann has played the opening ODI in Perth before making way for Zampa in Adelaide.
Edwards earns his spot following standout performances for Australia A in India, where he scored 88 in the second four-day game in Lucknow.
Sean Abboott will also miss the last two matches, with Ben Dwarshuis coming in, while Josh Phillippe, who last played a T20I in 2023, has also been named in the squad. The changes have been rung in for top players to stay fit and ready for the Ashes, which will begin in less than a month.
Australia have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series. They won the first match in Perth by seven wickets and followed that up with a two-wicket in Adelaide.
