Beardman set for ODI debut, Harper, Fraser-McGurk, Shaw in T20 squad

Exciting Western Australian speedster Mahli Beardman looks set to make his ODI debut again England in the absence of Australia's resting big three and the injured Nathan Ellis while Sam Harper and Lachlan Shaw have earned maiden T20I call-ups alongside recalls for Jake Fraser-McGurk and Mitchell Owen for the five-match T20I series.

Intriguingly, there was no room for Tim David in the ODI squad despite his return to List A cricket for Tasmania last week as part of a bid to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup as a finisher however he remains in the T20I squad. Allrounder Liam Scott has been recalled after being left out of the tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa in September while Jack Edwards has also retained his place after debuting in South Africa as an injury replacement.

Australia's selectors have opted to rest Test trio Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, the ODI skipper, from the three-match series against England to be played on November 13, 15 and 18 in Perth, Adelaide and Hobart. The trio played all three Tests in South Africa and it remains to be seen whether they will play any Sheffield Shield cricket before the first Test against New Zealand in Perth on December 9 given Hazlewood and Cummins have also been rested from the T20I series. Starc has retired from T20I cricket.

Australia will have a very under-strength ODI attack given Ellis will not be available until the T20I series due to the side strain he suffered in the ODI series in South Africa. Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson will lead the seam attack alongside Beardman with Edwards and Scott providing back-up while Adam Zampa has been picked as the lone spinner.
