Wade to captain Australia in T20I series against India
David Warner, Steven Smith and Travis Head are included but the all-format quicks and allrounders will prepare for the Test summer back home

David Warner, Steven Smith and Travis Head are included but the all-format quicks and allrounders will prepare for the Test summer back home

The former opener accepts the change is unlikely, but does not think having Smith and Labuschagne together works

The allrounder has now lost his place in the ODI and Test teams in the space of a few months, but he could yet make an impact at the World Cup

Australia have had the wood over South Africa in the majority of their World Cup meetings but Bavuma’s men are in red-hot form of late

Glenn Maxwell’s form and fitness shows promising signs for Australia as the real deal approaches

Spencer Johnson has a hamstring injury while Cameron Green is under concussion protocols

Labuschagne produces more super-sub heroics; Cameron Green ruled out for eight days with concussion

The allrounder was struck by a Kagiso Rabada bouncer shortly after arriving at the crease

Green gets an opportunity at No.4 with Smith unavailable. Agar returns from injury to partner Zampa. Inglis to play as a specialist batter with Carey keeping

One silver lining is that he will be available for plenty of Sheffield Shield cricket before the Test summer
