Australia rest test players for short-format series against England

Matt Renshaw and Cameron Green were among the six Australian players chosen for a series of one-day cricket internationals against England, following a test series loss in South Africa. The frontline pace bowlers Mitch Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins are being rested for the two white-ball series against England to prepare for the upcoming four-test series against New Zealand, which begins on December 9 in Perth.

Green and Renshaw were joined by Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Travis Head, and Cooper Connolly in the 14-man squad for the three home ODIs on November 13, 15, and 18. The Australian selectors have faced challenges in selecting players due to the demanding schedule, with no players from the third test selected for the T20 squad to face England. Mitch Marsh will lead both of the Australian white-ball squads.
