Cooper Connolly replaces Australia captain Mitchell Marsh ...Middle East

With the Lucknow Super Giants not qualifying for the IPL playoffs, Mitchell Marsh was soon likely to be available for the Pakistan vs Australian ODI series. Marsh had amassed 550+ runs in the season, also smashing a stunning hundred in the season, despite LSG's batting struggles.

Mitchell Marsh was declared unfit before the start of the series and was ruled out of the ODI series against Pakistan due to an ankle injury that he had picked up during his recent IPL campaign with the Lucknow Super Giants.

Connolly had made his IPL debut this season and had amassed 491 runs in the season with one century, two half-centuries, and several other knocks, which were not registered as milestones. Having played in ODIs for Australia, he had also scored his first half-century during a match-winning knock against India.
