Mitchell Marsh to lead Australia's 16-member squad for T20I series in the Caribbean
Melbourne [Australia], June 4 (ANI): Mitchell Marsh, making his return to international action, has been appointed captain of a 16-member Australian squad for their upcoming T20I series against the West Indies in the Caribbean next month, according to the official website of the ICC. The Aussies meet the West Indies in Jamaica and St Kitts for five T20Is, as the team prepares for their 2026 T20 World Cup campaign early next year. Hard-hitting Mitch Owen and spinner Matt Kuhnemann are included in a nod to recent domestic form, while Cameron Green and Cooper Connolly also return, having recovered from respective injuries. Recent IPL champion Josh Hazlewood is another addition, having missed the side's last T20I series at home against Pakistan as part of his load management plan. There was no room in the squad for Jake Fraser-McGurk, Marcus Stoinis and Xavier Bartlett, while Pat Cummins, Travis Head and Mitchell Starc will sit out the series, returning to Australia following the Test series against the West Indies on the same tour. Australian chair of selectors George Bailey says the series is crucial in finding a group to take on next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. 'We have a busy T20 schedule coming up through this series, followed by three against South Africa and New Zealand and five matches against India at home as we continue to refine and build a squad we think will be the right fit for the World Cup on the subcontinent,' he said as quoted from the official website of ICC. 'There are a number of players outside the squad who can still force their way into the mix for those upcoming Indian Series and through the Big Bash (League),' he added. 'The connection, role development and combinations we will have as options are growing nicely as we build towards the World Cup,' he said. 'It's an exciting time in our T20 space,' he noted. The returning Marsh enjoyed a prolific 2025 IPL, making 627 runs for Lucknow Super Giants, including a maiden century. Australia comes into the series in strong form, having won 12 of their past 14 T20Is.

BBL hero in frame for first Aussie cap in Caribbean
Hobart's Big Bash League hero Mitch Owen is on the cusp of a first Australian cap after being selected in the Twenty20 International squad to tour the West Indies. It comes as Test spinner Matt Kuhnemann earns selection in his first T20I squad and out-of-sorts Jake Fraser-McGurk is dropped from the set-up. Owen's call-up continues a whirlwind start to the year for the 23-year-old, who powered the Hurricanes to their first BBL title with a century in the final against the Sydney Thunder. He finished as the tournament's leading run-scorer and earned a maiden call-up to the IPL as Punjab Kings' injury replacement for Glenn Maxwell, though was dismissed for a second-ball duck in his only game. Owen brings versatility to the 16-player squad, able to open the batting or slot into the middle order for the five matches played across Jamaica and St Kitt's after the three-Test series. Swashbuckling young gun Fraser-McGurk joins veteran allrounder Marcus Stoinis and paceman Xavier Bartlett in missing the T20 squad for next month's matches. Fraser-McGurk withdrew from the IPL when it went on hiatus after managing only one score in double figures from six innings with Delhi Capitals. Chief selector George Bailey suggested all hope was not lost ahead for those who missed selection as Australia prepares for next year's T20 World Cup. "There are a number of players outside the squad who can till force their way into the mix," he said. "The connection, role development and combinations we will have as options are growing nicely as we build towards the World Cup." Kuhnemann's inclusion continues a great calendar year for the tweaker, who was Australia's best bowler in the dominant Test series win over Sri Lanka. He joins as back-up to Adam Zampa but is a chance for game-time if decks point to needing two front-line spinners. Multi-format superstars Pat Cummins, Travis Head and Mitch Starc are unavailable for the T20Is, opting to return home after the Test matches. But allrounders Cameron Green and Cooper Connolly have been included in the squad on return from injury.
