Australia Without Starc, Maxwell, and Cummins for T20I Series
Australia is set to take on their T20I series challenge without three of their biggest stars: Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell, and Pat Cummins. These key players are unavailable for the series, which has left a noticeable gap in the lineup. However, the Australian squad remains packed with talent, and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh will step up to captain the team.
Mitchell Marsh to Lead Australia
Mitchell Marsh, who has been in excellent form, takes over the captaincy in this series. Marsh’s leadership will be crucial as he guides a squad filled with both experience and youth. With his ability to contribute both with the bat and ball, Marsh’s presence at the helm will provide much-needed stability in the absence of Starc, Maxwell, and Cummins.
Australia’s Talented Squad Still a Strong Force
Despite missing some of their top players, the Australian team is far from short on firepower. Josh Hazlewood, one of the best pacers in the world, will lead the bowling attack, while Adam Zampa, the skilled leg-spinner, will add variety in the spin department. Big-hitting Tim David will be key in the middle order, known for his ability to accelerate the run rate in critical moments.
Other players like Marcus Stoinis, Cameron Green, and Sean Abbott will play crucial roles, ensuring that Australia remains a competitive force despite the absence of their usual stars.
