Josh Inglis has been appointed as the captain of Australia's one-day international team for the upcoming series against Pakistan. This decision follows the withdrawal of Mitchell Marsh, who is recovering from an ankle injury sustained during the closing stages of the Indian Premier League.

Marsh, an integral player for Australia, was absent from the final match of the Lucknow Super Giants' campaign. He has returned to Perth, where he is undergoing further evaluation and treatment, with no set timeline for his return to the field.

Cricket Australia stated that a decision regarding Marsh's participation in the forthcoming white-ball tour of Bangladesh will be made at a later date. The ODI series against Pakistan is set to commence in Rawalpindi this Saturday, marking Inglis' debut as captain.
