Renowned fast bowler Mitchell Starc has made a notable return to Australia's ODI squad for the three-match home series against India starting October 19. Captaincy duties will remain with Mitchell Marsh due to the continued absence of Pat Cummins, who is recovering from lumbar bone stress.
Starc sat out the previous ODI series against South Africa as part of workload management, following retirement from T20 internationals and an active West Indies Test tour. His inclusion alongside new recruits Matthew Renshaw, Matt Short, and Mitch Owen, positions Australia to challenge India.
The roster adjustments for the first two T20I matches reveal Australia's strategic preparations for the forthcoming T20 World Cup. Balance is being emphasized by the selectors, ensuring readiness for both immediate series and the wider Test commitments.
