Aussie All-Rounder Jack Edwards Earns Surprise ODI Call-Up Against India
24 Oct
Summary
- Australia adds Jack Edwards to ODI squad for final match against India
- Edwards shone in 2018 U19 World Cup and domestic cricket
- Could help strengthen Australia's fast-bowling all-rounder options for 2027 ODI World Cup
Australia has added New South Wales all-rounder Jack Edwards to their squad for the third and final ODI against India, set to be played on October 25, 2025 in Sydney. The hosts have already secured an unassailable 2-0 series lead and will look to complete an impressive whitewash in the final game.
Beyond the result, this match presents an opportunity for Australia to try out some of their fringe players. The 25-year-old Edwards has been in excellent form in the domestic circuit, earning a well-deserved international call-up. With occasional fitness concerns for players like Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh, Edwards could help bolster Australia's fast-bowling all-rounder options ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, which is expected to be played on potentially fast and bouncy tracks in South Africa.
Edwards first made a name for himself in the 2018 Under-19 World Cup, where he shone with both bat and ball, helping Australia finish as runners-up. He has since continued to impress in domestic cricket, becoming the youngest-ever batter to score a century in Australia's domestic one-day competition in 2018. The young all-rounder has also showcased his skills against India A in recent tours, further cementing his case for an international debut.
