Eng vs Aus, ODI series – Mahli Beardman added to Australia ODI squad as cover

Although he has only played one List A match in his career so far, he was picked up in August by the Perth Scorchers in this year’s Big Bash League, and is one of the fastest bowlers in the Australian set-up. he was keeping a close eye, alongside Callum Vidler, Charlie Anderson and Tom Straker.

Spencer Johnson was ruled out before the start of the tour, while Riley Meredith did not play after the first T20I in Scotland, both men with side problems.

Josh Hazlewood was a doubt for the T20I series after arriving late in the UK following a minor calf strain, but played a major role in Australia’s win in Southampton before being rested for the second match in Cardiff.

Talking to SEN last week, Andrew McDonald, Australia’s coach, said his team would be closely monitoring the fitness of his “big bowlers” – Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc – ahead of the five-Test home series against India later this year.

“A lot of our priorities will be focused on that,” Andrew McDonald, Australia’s coach, told SEN last week. “You will see that from the managers of our players. [Sheffield] Shield cricket will go into the summer to ensure they are ready for the first Test.”

The Australian team that will play in the ODIs will also be boosted by the arrival of Starc, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell.
