Australia Announces T20 Squad for Pakistan Series

Australia’s National Selection Panel has announced the men’s T20 squad for the upcoming series against Pakistan next month. The team features a mix of experienced players and fresh talent, aiming to build international experience ahead of a busy season.

Fast bowlers Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, and Spencer Johnson are returning from injury and will rejoin the T20 setup, marking their comebacks to international cricket.

With the Test series against India on the horizon, some Test squad members will skip the T20 series to focus on preparations for the first Test in Perth. Players selected for both squads will join the Test team after the final T20 match in Hobart.

Chair of Selectors George Bailey expressed excitement about the squad selection. “This group has represented Australia in T20 cricket, and we look forward to them gaining more international experience in this series. Combining seasoned players with those starting their international careers is particularly exciting,” Bailey said.

He also welcomed the return of Bartlett, Johnson, and Ellis. “It’s great to have Xavier, Spencer, and Nathan back in the national setup. This series gives them another chance to showcase their skills on the international stage,” he added.
