The Australian selectors have announced their squad for the upcoming T20 series against the West Indies, with some big changes from the last squad.
The most notable omission is all-rounder Mitch Marsh, who has been dropped after a string of poor performances. In his place, the selectors have chosen uncapped all-rounder Cameron Green.
Green is a highly rated 23-year-old who has been in superb form for Western Australia this season. He has been rewarded for his suitable form with a place in the squad.
Other notable changes include the return of fast bowler Mitchell Starc and spinner Shane Warne. All-rounder Marcus Stoinis has also been recalled to the squad.
The series will be played from 3 to 9 November in the Caribbean. It will be a tough series for Australia, but they will hope to get off to a good start against the West Indies.
The full squad is:
David Warner (c), Aaron Finch (vc), Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Shane Warne, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Cameron Green, Andrew Tye, Matthew Wade, Adam Zampa
The series will be an excellent opportunity for Green to make his mark on the international stage. It will also be a chance for Stoinis to prove his worth after a disappointing World Cup campaign. The series will be a tough one for Australia, but they will hope to get off to a winning start.
It’s official: Australia will tour the West Indies for a three-match T20 series in November.
