Warner to miss T20I series against India after World Cup win


David Warner was withdrawn from the T20I series against India after the ODI World Cup.

Warner joins a group of multi-format players who will skip the five-match pre-summer home series that begins with the first Test against Pakistan on December 14.

Warner had an outstanding World Cup where he scored 535 runs at 48.63. The upcoming Pakistan series will be the final stage of his Test career as he earmarked the SCG in early January for his retirement from the format.

Western Australian all-rounder Aaron Hardie, who made his South Africa debut earlier this year, has joined the T20I squad. Kane Richardson has also been called up to replace Spencer Johnson, who has a hamstring injury.

Despite starting just four days after the ODI World Cup final, the series acts as part of the build-up to next year’s T20 edition in the West Indies and USA. Australia currently has six more T20Is scheduled before that tournament with a pair of three-match series against the West Indies and New Zealand in February.

The team now includes seven players who participated during the World Cup plus Tanveer Sangha, who was a roving reserve throughout.

The team will be managed by Matthew Wade, although Marsh, who captained them to the 3-0 win against South Africa in September, is the favorite for the job on a permanent basis.

The series begins in Visakhapatnam on Thursday.

Australia T20I Team Matthew Wade (captain), Travis Head, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Short, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, Jason Behrendorff, Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa, Tanveer Sangha
