Cricket Australia has announced significant squad adjustments for the remaining white-ball fixtures against India. For the third and final ODI on October 25th, Jack Edwards of New South Wales has been added to the squad. Notably, key batter Marnus Labuschagne has been released from the ODI setup to focus on Queensland’s Sheffield Shield commitments. Matthew Kuhnemann also returns to the ODI squad after missing the second match due to Adam Zampa’s availability.
The T20I squad sees substantial changes as well. Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott will depart the T20I series early to participate in round four of the Sheffield Shield. Hazlewood will feature in the initial two T20Is, while Abbott will leave after the third match. Glenn Maxwell is set to return for the final three T20Is, and Ben Dwarshuis will join for the last two encounters. These strategic moves aim to balance international commitments with domestic red-ball preparation for key Australian players.
