Sydney, February 22: The National Selection Panel (NSP) on Tuesday (February 22) named a 16-player squad for the three ODIs and one-off T20I on the upcoming tour of Pakistan.
Australia will tour Pakistan for the first time since 1998 for three Test matches, three ODIs, and one T20I.
David Warner, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Glenn Maxwell will all miss the limited-overs leg of their upcoming tour of Pakistan.
However, these players will not be released to play the initial matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022), and they will only be available for the tournament after April 5.
The IPL 2022 is scheduled for an April 2 start but it has been reported that the organisers and broadcasters are looking for an earlier start on either March 26 or 27 with a double header.
But in either case, some front-line Australia and England stars are set to miss a few early round matches courtesy their international commitments. The left-arm pacer Starc though did not enter the IPL auction pool, hence is not playing in the league.
The Test-playing contingent and staff are due to depart for Pakistan later this week while white ball players and staff will join mid-tour for the One-Day Internationals and T20 International.
George Bailey, NSP Chair, said: "We have picked a talented and versatile squad with a number of challenges to juggle, including the tour structure of predominantly 50 over games, management of several multi-format players in the medium to long term; and our need to build experience and depth in preparation for two short-form World Cups within the next 18 months.
"We're confident the squad can both compete successfully on this tour and continue our progress towards those crucial tournaments," he added.
Australia's ODI and T20 squad: Aaron Finch (Captain), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Alex Carey, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Ben McDermott, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa.
