Zampa To Miss Start; Maxwell Recalled

Australia have reshuffled their white-ball squads ahead of a five-match T20I series against India (Oct 29–Nov 8) with fixtures in Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Gold Coast and Brisbane. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa will miss the start of the T20Is for personal reasons as he and his wife are expecting their second child, and Tanveer Sangha has been drafted into the squad. Glenn Maxwell has been cleared to return from a fractured wrist and will be available for the final three T20Is. Uncapped pacer Mahli Beardman, Ben Dwarshuis (for the later matches) and wicketkeeper Josh Philippe have been added, while fast bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott will be managed through the series—exiting after two and three games respectively—to prepare for Sheffield Shield red-ball duties and the upcoming Ashes. Marnus Labuschagne has been released from ODI duty to play Sheffield Shield, and the ODI side for the Sydney dead rubber was tweaked with the additions of Jack Edwards and Matt Kuhnemann. Selectors said the changes balance workload management and create opportunities for emerging players.
