In the first ODI at the MCG, the left-hander was unable to make an impression, but Australia won easily by eight wickets thanks to Josh Inglis (65), Cameron Green (77no), and Steve Smith (79no).
In addition, Australia announced that paceman Xavier Bartlett, who made his men’s ODI debut with the nation’s second-best statistics (4–17), will be rested from the second match after an incredible first outing in international colors.
Even though Bartlett is healthy and participated in every game of the Heat’s Big Bash championship-winning team, the selectors decided that playing three ODIs in five days would be too much work and too soon.
Australia ODI (One-Day Internationals) squad: Steve Smith (c), Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood (second ODI only), Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson (third ODI only), Marnus Labuschagne, Lance Morris, Matt Short, Will Sutherland, Adam Zampa
Australia T20I squad (Twenty20 International team): Mitchell Marsh (c), Sean Abbott, Jason Behrendorff, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Short, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.
