Mitchell Marsh reveals Australia's preferred top six for 2027 ODI World Cup ahead of England series
Australia is in full swing, gearing up for the 2027 ODI World Cup and assessing their batting options for future matches. Stand-in captain Mitchell Marsh hints at a solid core that could feature heavily. The opening ODI against England in Perth is set to reveal more about Australia's strategy as they rest senior fast bowlers, giving younger talents a chance to shine.
Australia is finalising their batting lineup for the 2027 ODI World Cup, with stand-in captain Mitchell Marsh revealing the top six players he anticipates will form the core of the team's campaign. With limited time to experiment before the global tournament, Marsh believes the England series in Perth will give a glimpse of Australia's preferred batting formation.
The lineup, set to feature against England, is expected to remain unchanged, comprising Marsh, Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Matt Renshaw, Josh Inglis, and Cameron Green. Australia, however, will rest senior fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc for the series, making way for younger fast bowlers, including Western Australian pacer Mahli Beardman, who is set to make his international debut in the first ODI.
