AUSTRALIA: The newly crowned T20 World Cup champions England have to stop their celebrations and try to somehow concentrate on a seemingly pointless three-match ODI series against Australia, underscoring the increasingly crowded cricket schedule.
England’s title-winning heroes will return to the pitch for the series opener on Thursday at the Adelaide Oval. The game will set two power-packed teams against each other on November 17, 2022.
Australia should be rested and determined to bounce back following their unsuccessful title defence at the T20 World Cup, but it may be difficult for England to be particularly motivated.
In order to begin a new ODI era, Australia has chosen an almost full-strength team led by Pat Cummins, who has replaced Aaron Finch as captain.
Australia defeated Zimbabwe and New Zealand in an ODI series in Queensland in August and September, whereas England’s performance during their home summer was inconsistent.
David Warner, a high-caliber player will look to score some runs against the world cup winning side. Warner also recently hinted at his test retirement the following year.
Jason Roy- Look out for this man as he is playing a match after a long time. If he gets going, he can be very dangerous for Australian bowlers, as his attacking ability is excellent.
