Pakistan vs Australia ODI Series - Squad and Key Players for Australia

After a break of a month, the Australian cricket team will return to action in international cricket. They are scheduled to host Pakistan for a three-match ODI and T20 series. At first, the series will begin with an ODI on 4th November at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The online betting apps in India will cover the Pakistan vs Australia ODI Series.

There are multiple changes that have been made in the squad with some major players missing out from the series. Skipper Pat Cummins will also make his comeback after taking enough rest for the upcoming Test season.

He will be preparing himself for the upcoming Test series against India by taking part in the ODI and T20 series against Pakistan. It is for the same reason, that Cummins will be missing out on the Sheffield Shield action.

Australia are missing out on Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head. The duo are on paternity leave and they are expected to be back in the T20 series for the team. However, it is not yet confirmed.

Australia’s bowling segment will have Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. There is a possibility that both pacers might not be used in the same match as Cummins is already the primary option.

Marcus Stoinis is also making his comeback to the team. He has been absent from the international action since ODI World Cup 2023. Stonis was not part of the UK tour where the Aussies played the T20 series against Scotland and England.

Josh Inglis is the only wicket-keeper option that management has kept. In a shocking mover, Alex Carey is also missing out even after showcasing a good performance in recent times.

For betting on cricket, Australia vs Pakistan ODI series is the best tournament.
