Australia has announced its squads for the upcoming ODI series against Pakistan and the white-ball series against Bangladesh. These series are scheduled to take place in May-June 2026. Mitchell Marsh, who is currently playing in the 2026 IPL, will be seen captaining the team in both formats.
Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc have been rested. Billy Stanlake and Riley Meredith are making a comeback to the ODI squad. Ollie Peake, Liam Scott, and Joel Davies have been included in the Australian squad for the first time. Peake has been selected exclusively for the ODI series against Pakistan, while Scott has been given a spot solely in the ODI series against Bangladesh. Joel Davies will play only in the T20 series against Bangladesh.
Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, and Xavier Bartlett who are playing in the 2026 IPL will replace Peake, Stanlake, Meredith, and Matt Short in the upcoming ODI series against Bangladesh. Glenn Maxwell, who has retired from the ODI format, has not been included in the T20 squad.
Peake, Scott, and Davies have been rewarded for their stellar performances in domestic cricket. Scott was named the 'Sheffield Shield Player of the Year' for the 2025/26 season, while Davies was a standout performer in the 2025/26 Big Bash League. Ollie Peake captained the Australian team at the 2026 Under-19 World Cup, following which he was included in the Australia 'A' squad.
Selection Committee Chairman George Bailey said, It is always exciting to see new players get the opportunity to play international cricket and become part of the national team. This blend of experienced players, along with new and returning players, will prove to be extremely crucial on the tour of the subcontinent.
