For their forthcoming three-match Twenty20 International series against New Zealand later this month, Australia has assembled a formidable 15-man roster. On Wednesday, February 21, Wellington hosts the opening Twenty20 International before the next two matches are played in Auckland.
It’s interesting that Mitchell Marsh has been named captain despite Pat Cummins being a member of the team. This could indicate that Cummins’ time as Australia’s captain in all competitions is coming to an end. The renowned all-rounder might have chosen not to play all three games in order to manage his fatigue, in which case Marsh might have been selected to lead the team.
