Australia keep door open for shuffling batting order

Cummins, though, says there needs to be a compelling case to move Renshaw from No.5

England has announced their squads for the upcoming white-ball tour of Australia, set to take place in November. The team is also preparing for the One Day International World Cup next year. All-rounder Jacob Bethell, who had been sidelined with a knee injury during England's successful ODI series against India in July, has been selected for both the ODI and T20 series.

Jofra Archer, who was rested for this month's tri-series in Pakistan, returns to the ODI squad. Additionally, uncapped fast bowler Eddie Jack and 18-year-old wicketkeeper-batter Thomas Rew have earned their first calls-up to the senior England team for the T20 squad. Phil Salt returns to the wicketkeeping position after recovering from a quad injury that kept him out of England's recent 3-0 T20 series sweep of Sri Lanka.

Jos Buttler remains sidelined as he begins rehabilitation following hamstring surgery, while fast bowler Saqib Mahmood misses out due to a knee injury. England will increase central contracts to a record 39, with Archer and quicks Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, and Josh Tongue leaving the tour after the three-match ODI series. The Australia series is part of England's preparations for the upcoming One Day International World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
