Johannesburg: Australia's bowling attack for their upcoming three one-day internationals against South Africa has been bolstered by the return of captain Pat Cummins and fast bowler Mitchell Starc, according to Cricket Australia. The duo were absent during the 3-0 series win in Zimbabwe earlier this week, but will now feature in the series that kicks off in Durban on Thursday.
Additionally, all-rounder Jack Edwards is set to make his One Day International debut after being sidelined from the Australia A tour of India. Edwards, 26, is expected to join the squad alongside fast bowlers Billy Stanlake and Spencer Johnson, who are returning home after their participation in the Zimbabwe matches. However, Stanlake will undergo medical scans following a side strain, while Johnson was deemed surplus to requirements after playing in two of the three matches in Harare.
