Australia’s Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson and Josh Phillips have been included in the squad for the third ODI. Lance Morris was included in the ODI squad in Melbourne.
Josh Hazlewood played a Sheffield Shield match to prepare for the Test, so he was not available for the first match. Cricket Australia says Josh Hazlewood is available for the second ODI against Pakistan but will not play the third match.
Josh Inglis will lead the team in the third match; he will also lead the T20 series against Pakistan.
It should be noted that Josh Inglis will be Australia’s 30th ODI and 14th T20I captain.
