In both T20 and ODI formats, Australia will captain Mitchell Marsh. Pat Cummins was rested in the T20 series against the West Indies and has not been included in this either. Dhakad player Travis Head has returned to the team. Apart from the head, Josh Hazlewood has also been included in the teams of both formats. Apart from this, Mitchell Owen has got a place in Australia’s ODI team for the first time. Owen’s performance was a bang in the T20 series against the West Indies.
