Australia Rotates T20 Squad, Rests Ashes Contenders
25 Oct
Summary
- Australia recalls Glenn Maxwell and Ben Dwarshuis for T20 series
- Test stars Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott rested for some games
- Uncapped Mahli Beardman joins squad for last 3 T20s
As of October 25th, 2025, Australia has announced several changes to its T20 squad for the upcoming five-match series against India. The adjustments are aimed at allowing the team's Test contenders to focus on the Sheffield Shield before the highly anticipated Ashes series.
All-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who has been sidelined by a wrist injury, will be returning to the squad for the last three games of the India series. Left-arm paceman Ben Dwarshuis will also be available for the final two matches after missing the recent ODI series due to a calf problem.
In other notable moves, fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, a certainty for the Ashes team, will skip the last three T20 games against India. Fellow quick Sean Abbott, who is among the candidates to fill the spot left open by the likely absence of Pat Cummins for the Ashes opener, will miss the final two matches of the India series.
