#Australia #squad #tour #Pakistan #Bangladesh #Full #list #Cummins #Starc #Hazlewood #rested">Australia squad for tour in Pakistan, Bangladesh — Full list; Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood rested Australia has left fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood out of its limited overs squads for upcoming tours of Pakistan and Bangladesh later this month.
The trio will miss the three-match series against Pakistan starting May 30, with uncapped all-rounder Liam Scott and Australia Under-19 World Cup captain Ollie Peake earning their first senior international call-ups in a new-look Australian squad.
Young batter Joel Davies is another new face after he was selected for the T20 series against Bangladesh in June.
Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis and Xavier Bartlett will travel to Bangladesh once their Indian Premier League (IPL) commitments are completed, while veteran all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was omitted altogether.
Mitchell Marsh will be the captain across both tours as Australia begins its preparations for the ICC ODI World Cup to be held in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe in October next year.
Selection chairman George Bailey said the tours presented opportunities for emerging players.
“It’s always exciting to see new players get an opportunity to play international cricket and be a part of the national team,” Bailey said. “The blend of experienced players coupled with new or returning players will provide a nice mix for these subcontinent tours.
“Continuing to provide opportunities for players to develop across a broad range of conditions and experiences is important and will continue to be a focus over the next 18 months to two years.”
Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood are expected to use the break to prepare for Australia’s World Test Championship campaign, which resumes in August in a two-Test home series against Bangladesh.
Australia plays Pakistan in three ODIs in Rawalpindi (May 30) and Lahore (June 2 and 4) before traveling to Bangladesh for three ODI games in Dhaka (June 9, 11 and 14) and three T20 Internationals in Chattogram (June 17, 19 and 21).

#IPL #Mitchell #Starc #set #return #Delhi #Capitals">IPL 2026: Mitchell Starc set to return for Delhi Capitals, likely to be available for DC vs RR
Mitchell Starc has been cleared by Cricket Australia to feature in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with the pacer expected to be available for Delhi Capitals’ match against Rajasthan Royals on May 1.
The left-arm quick had been sidelined since January due to elbow and shoulder niggles. He played a key role across all five Ashes Tests, earning the Player of the Series honour, before featuring in five Big Bash League games for Sydney Sixers later that month.
“Starc is expected to build up his workloads on the ground in India and is on track to make his debut for the 2026 season in Delhi’s May 1 match against Rajasthan Royals,” Cricket.com.au reported.
The 36-year-old’s absence from the early phase of the IPL had sparked debate over the commitment of overseas players, prompting Starc to address the issue on social media and clarify what he termed “heavily misinformed opinions”.
“Despite the opinions and views of certain individuals with their platforms in and through the Indian media, I’m currently rehabbing and managing an injury in my shoulder and elbow of which I didn’t know the extent of during the Australian summer,” Starc had posted on Instagram.
“These individuals have made some strong statements around involvement in the IPL and provided heavily misinformed opinions of players, preached them as facts, and claim to know my body better than me,” the post read.
Starc led Delhi Capitals’ pace attack last season, claiming 14 wickets in 11 matches. The franchise currently sits fifth in the points table with three wins and as many losses from six games.

Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack hasn’t yet allowed the absence of spearhead Mitchell Starc to be felt. The Australian left-arm pacer has been unable to join the team owing to a shoulder and elbow injury sustained during the home season Down Under.
It hasn’t hindered DC from notching up two wins on the trot. In both performances, the bowlers played their part, bundling out Lucknow Super Giants for 141 and then restricting Mumbai Indians to 162 for six.
Still, DC’s bowling coach Munaf Patel is under no illusion about his team being able to make do without Starc.
“We have won two matches. So, people may think Starc’s absence is not being felt. But whether we win or don’t win in the coming games will depend on him. A big bowler is a big bowler. I don’t think there is a greater bowler than Starc in the IPL. There’s (Jasprit) Bumrah that Starc can be compared with.
“Starc has a lot of experience. He swings the new ball at 140kmph-plus. I am following his injury timeline regularly and asking every day when he will return. There is no update yet,” Munaf told the media on Tuesday.
While Starc is away, South Africa’s Lungi Ngidi has been doing a stellar job with his deadly off-cutters.
“Ngidi has a good idea of bowling on different wickets,” Munaf observed. “He knows his variations. He is not the sort of bowler who tries to bowl at 150 kmph and gets hit. He stays within his limitations.”
