Labuschagne Left Out from Australian ODI Lineup Versus Team India

Labuschagne finds himself omitted from the three-match ODI series facing India, with in-form Queensland colleague Matt Renshaw earning a surprise call-up.

Performance Issues Lead to Exclusion

The right-hander was left out from the one-day international squad following scoring just one run in his two batting efforts during the top-end series against South Africa in August. He has a top score of forty-seven in his previous ten ODI innings.

The 31-year-old has played 68 one-day internationals and accumulated 1,871 ODI runs at an average of 34.64 runs per dismissal, but will now focus on earning a Test recall in time for the Ashes beginning in Perth on 21 November.

Surprise Inclusion and Team Changes

Recent performances suggest of a resurgence with 160 for Queensland in the domestic first-class competition this week, while Renshaw made a hundred for the Bulls in the identical match against Tasmania.

The left-hander may to make his ODI debut in the upcoming series against India after last being included in an ODI squad in 2022.

Renshaw has played 14 Test matches with the most recent appearance in India in 2023 but is also seeking a return to the Test team as Australia search for a answer to their top-order woes.

Pace Returns and Injury News

Left-arm quick Mitchell Starc returns for the ODI series against India after being rested since starring for Australia in the 3-0 Test series sweep of West Indies in July.

BBL performer Mitch Owen may earn his ODI debut after being concussed in the lead up to Australia’s last 50-over series against South Africa.

ODI captain Pat Cummins is still unavailable as he works to regain fitness from a back injury in time to lead Australia in the first Ashes Test in November.

Team Announcement Strategy and Schedule

Australia have announced a squad for only the initial two T20 matches against India with the Ashes approaching, although Glenn Maxwell will miss all of the five-game T20 series due to a wrist problem sustained in New Zealand.

Mitch Marsh will captain both the ODI and T20 teams after hitting a ton in the final game against New Zealand to seal a 2-0 series win last week.

“We have named a squad for the ODI series and initial two matches of the T20 series as there will be some management through the back end of the series as individuals prepare for the summer through Sheffield Shield cricket,” Australia chair of selectors George Bailey said.

“The majority of the T20 squad will remain together as it’s an crucial phase in the preparation for the T20 World Cup next year, however we are aiming to find equilibrium to ensure we simultaneously get ready certain individuals for the Test matches ahead.”

Australia’s three-game ODI series against India commences on 19 October in Perth, before the opponents play five T20 internationals from October 29.
