Kathmandu, 28 April — Australia’s squad for the T20 international series against Bangladesh has been revealed, with Mitchell Marsh leading the team. The squad sees the return of Aaron Hardie, who earned his recall after impressive displays in the Pakistan Super League. Additionally, fast bowler Spencer Johnson has also returned to the side, along with the debutant Joel Davies.
However, experienced players Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis have not been included. Both have already retired from one-day internationals. Steve Smith is also absent from the T20 squad. Previously, Maxwell and Stoinis were not offered central contracts and their performances in the T20 World Cup were below expectations.
Australia’s T20 squad for the Bangladesh series: Mitchell Marsh (captain), Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Joel Davies, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Matthew Kuhnemann, Riley Meredith, Josh Phillipp, Matthew Renshaw, Adam Zampa.
