Australia have have made a double change to their 16‑member T20I squad ahead of the upcoming five‑match series against West Indies, replacing Spencer Johnson and Josh Hazlewood with Jake Fraser‑McGurk and Xavier Bartlett. Spencer Johnson is still recovering from a back injury, while Josh Hazlewood will fly back home to manage workload.
Meanwhile, it is a great opportunity for young firebrand Jake Fraser‑McGurk, who has played seven T20Is for Australia, to make his case. Xavier Bartlett has impressed in his nine international appearances, claiming 22 wickets. The first of five T20Is will be played on July 20 at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica.
Australia T20I squad: Mitchell Marsh (c), Sean Abbott, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Xavier Bartlett, Josh Inglis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Matt Kuhnemann, Glenn Maxwell, Mitch Owen, Matthew Short, Adam Zampa
