Cricket Australia has decided not to call back any players from the IPL at this point for the upcoming matches.
In Cummins' absence, full-time T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh will lead the ODI side. Marsh is also at the IPL right now, but he is playing for Lucknow Super Giants, who have already been eliminated from the playoffs race.
Other big names like Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis are also missing from the squads. All three have retired from ODIs, but remain available for selection in T20Is.
Green, Head, and Inglis added to the Australia ODI squad
Travis Head (SRH), Cooper Conolly, Ben Dwarshius, and Xavier Bartlett (all Punjab Kings) have been left out of the ODI squad against Pakistan but were selected for the ODIs against Bangladesh. Dwarshius has been left out of the T20Is, with left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson taking his place instead. All-rounder Aaron Hardie will also play only the T20I series.
A few uncapped players have also received the call from the Australian selectors. Most notably, Ollie Peake.
Peake has only been called up for the series against Pakistan. All-rounder Liam Scott and left-arm spinner Joel Davies are the other uncapped players called up to the squads.
Apart from them, a few fringe veterans have been called up as well. Left-arm pacer Billy Stanlake, who has not played for Australia since 2019, has been included in the squad against Pakistan, as has all-rounder Matt Short. Wicketkeeper Josh Philippe has been included only in the T20I squad.
Just like Davies, pacer Riley Meredith - who last played ODIs in 2021 and T20Is in 2024 - has only been included in the Pakistan ODIs and Bangladesh T20Is. Despite not officially being a part of the squad, both of them will stay with the team during the ODIs in Bangladesh.
