Starc Back, Marsh to Lead: Australia Announces India Series Squad

Mitchell Starc has made a return to Australia’s One-Day International squad, as announced on Tuesday, for the upcoming three-match series against India. The series is set to commence on October 19, with Starc being one of four new inclusions. Joining him are Matthew Renshaw, Matt Short, and Mitch Owen as Australia aims to recover from their 2-1 series loss to South Africa in August.

In the absence of Pat Cummins, who is recovering from lumbar bone stress in preparation for the Ashes, Mitchell Marsh will lead the ODI team.
