World champions Australia will play ODIs and T20Is against England and T20Is against Scotland in September and some new names will be in action during the series.
David Warner has retired from all formats after the 2024 T20 World Cup, and Jake Fraser-McGurk has been named in both Australia’s ODI and T20Is squads and looks set to be a long-term replacement for the former opener.
Fraser-McGurk has already played two ODIs on home soil when the West Indies toured Australia earlier this year, but is yet to make his T20I debut. He was part of the T20 World Cup squad as a traveling reserve but did not play.
Cooper Connolly has received his first call-up after an impressive Big Bash League (BBL) season with Perth Scorchers, where he scored 150 runs at 144 while batting at number six.
Prepare for the domestic summer and the busy first half of next year,” men’s selection chairman George Bailey said, as quoted by Cricket Australia ( CA).
“We are particularly pleased to offer Cooper his first opportunity in the T20 team having introduced the likes of Jake, Spencer, Xavier and Aaron over the last 12 months in the cue ball setting.”
