New Delhi, September 17 (HS). Under-19 World Cup star Mahli Beardman was on Monday included in Australia's ODI squad for the five-match series against England.
Earlier this year, 19-year-old Beardman was one of the star players in the Under-19 World Cup and helped Australia win the coveted trophy. Beardman was also named the 'Player of the Match' for his brilliant bowling in the final match against India.
Beardman was called up as a traveling reserve after the Australian team was hit by injuries. Xavier Bartlett suffered a hamstring strain during the first T20I against England. On the other hand, Nathan Ellis was ruled out of the Scotland series after suffering an injury in The Hundred. Meanwhile, Spencer Johnson was not included in the squad after suffering an injury.
Batting all-rounder Cooper Connolly has been included in the ODI squad against England. 21-year-old Connolly was also part of the T20 squad. Mitchell Starc will lead the Australian bowling attack after most of the senior fast bowlers were ruled out due to injury. The five-match ODI series will begin on September 19 at Trent Bridge. The second and third ODIs will be played at Headingley and Riverside Ground on September 21 and 24 respectively.
The fourth 50-over match between England and Australia will be played at the iconic Lord's on September 27. The fifth and final ODI will be played at the County Ground on September 29.
