Melbourne, Aug 7 (Ians) All-rounder Mitch Marsh will get the first chance of becoming Aaron Finch’s successor as Australia’s T20 captain after he was announced as skipper for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa.
Finch retired from T20I cricket earlier this year after a successful 76-match stint as captain that was highlighted by guiding Australia to the Icc Men’s T20 World Cup title in Dubai in 2021 and selectors have taken their time on settling on his replacement, reports Icc.
Marsh will be given first crack on winning the top job, with the talented all-rounder named captain for the T20 component of Australia’s white-ball tour of South Africa that commences later this month.
While Marsh has only been named as skipper for the upcoming South Africa tour, chief selector George Bailey believes the 31-year-old is capable of holding the job on a full-time basis.

Melbourne, Aug 7 (Ians) Australia have announced some surprise selections in their 18-player squad for this year’s Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup in India.
Uncapped leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha and inexperienced all-rounder Aaron Hardie are the surprise inclusions, with Test star Marnus Labuschagne the notable omission from Australia’s squad that will be reduced to 15 players closer to the start of the tournament on October 5, reports Icc.
Under Icc regulations squads must be finalised prior to September 28, with Australia’s first game at this year’s World Cup coming against hosts India in Chennai on October 8.

London, June 2 (Ians) Australia’s white-ball assistant coach Daniel Vettori is hoping that a lengthy stint in T20 format during the Indian Premier League (Ipl) will not hinder preparations of his players, especially key all-rounder Cameron Green. Vettori said a strong performance in the Ipl 2023 has boosted the confidence of Green and the young allrounder is looking forward to doing well in his maiden Test tour of the United Kingdom.
Green was among the last players to join the Australia squad as he arrived late following his stint with Mumbai Indians in Ipl Playoffs and joined the squad that had a four-day acclimatisation stint in Formby near Liverpool.
Despite joining the squad just 24 hours ago, Green was at hand as the Aussies’ held their first major training session in Beckenham on Thursday ahead of their campaign in World Test Championship final and Ashes series.

Formby (England), May 31 (Ians) Experienced Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood is hopeful of getting fit for the World Test Championship final against India at the Oval next month and working hard in the practice sessions.
Hazlewood has been battling a side issue in recent times and had to cut short his time in the Indian Premier League (Ipl) with Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier this month when the injury flared up.
But Hazlewood has returned to full training and was bowling at ‘close to full pace’ when Australia enjoyed a training session at Formby Cricket Club in England’s north on Tuesday in preparation for the one-off Test against India at The Oval that commences on June 7.
The session at the picturesque ground here was just the second time the 32-year-old pacer had rolled his arm over since arriving in England last week and the 32-year-old is confident he will be fit...

Chennai, March 22 (Ians) Leg-spinner Adam Zampa took four wickets while left-arm spinner Ashton Agar chipped in with two scalps to lead Australia to a thrilling 21-run victory over India in the series decider at the M A Chidambaram Stadium here to win the series 2-1.
After posting 269 in 49 overs on a slow pitch where strokeplay wasn’t easy, Zampa and Agar helped Australia fight back in the middle overs to break the back of India’s batting. Even though Mitchell Starc went wicketless, the rest of bowlers along with fiery fielding show and spot-on fielding placements led to India being bundled out for 248 in 49.1 overs.
Despite India having a 65-run opening partnership, they lost four wickets for 43 runs after Virat Kohli and Kl Rahul had put on 69 runs for the fourth wicket. But after Rahul and Kohli fell, the chase went downhill and India ended up on the losing side.

Chennai, March 21 (Ians) The three-match Odi series against Australia following the four Tests for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy were expected to give a glimpse into India’s preparations for this year’s Odi World Cup at home.
The selectors were planning to Test some players before they finalise the squad for the World Cup. But going into the third match, the selectors may not be much wiser than at the start as the matches have exposed some chinks in the armour.
Both teams have won one match each thus matching the Chennai Odi, the series decider and the last chance for the Aussies to test the fitness of David Warner and Glenn Maxwell before the September ODIs in India and the World Cup.
Playing without skipper Rohit Sharma, who sat out the match to attend a marriage in his extended family, India rode on an unbeaten 75 by seasoned Kl Rahul...
