New Delhi: The National Selection Panel (NSP) has unveiled the Australian men’s T20 squad for the upcoming series against Pakistan next month. The selected squad comprises a mix of experienced players and emerging talent, with the aim of building international experience ahead of a busy season.
Returning from injury, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis and Spencer Johnson will rejoin the T20 setup, marking their return to the international stage.
In view of Australia’s upcoming Test series against India, some members of the Test squad will not be a part of the T20 series in order to concentrate on preparation ahead of the first Test in Perth. The players of the T20 team selected for the Test series will join the Test team after the last T20 match in Hobart.

Chairman of selectors George Bailey commented on the team selection.
“This group of players have represented Australia in T20 cricket, and we hope they will further build on their international experience in this series. The combination of experienced players with players in the early stages of their international careers is particularly exciting, Bailey said.
Bailey said the return of Bartlett, Johnson and Ellis is a positive development. “It’s great to have Xavier, Spencer and Nathan back in the national setup. This series provides him another opportunity to showcase his skills on the international stage, as he has done before.”
