As per the schedule, the series will be played in Durban, Johannesburg, and Potchefstroom from September 24 to 30. It will also give Australia valuable preparation ahead of the 2027 World Cup in Africa. However, the coaching staff does not want the three premier fast bowlers to play three matches in seven days.
Josh Hazlewood played only one of the three ODIs in Zimbabwe under a similar workload-management plan. Australia are now considering using Starc and Hazlewood in the first and third ODIs in South Africa, with Cummins potentially playing the second match.
Nathan Ellis Eyes Regular ODI Spot
“I think he's grown into himself as a confident ODI bowler over the last few years, and it's great to see him get that reward in the series,” Starc said in Durban.
Ellis' role could become more complicated when all three Test quicks are available. He operates as a first-change bowler and is used through the middle overs and at the death. Starc and Hazlewood are primarily new-ball bowlers. Hazlewood has rarely bowled at the death since the 2023 World Cup.
Pat Cummins' Captaincy and Australia's Fast-Bowling Cover
With Cummins expected to play only a limited number of ODIs before the 2027 World Cup, Marsh could take on more captaincy duties. Cummins is also expected to be managed during Australia's ODI series against England in November and New Zealand next August because of his Test workload.
All-rounder Jack Edwards has been added to the squad as cover because Cameron Green is managing a shoulder issue that kept him out of the Zimbabwe ODIs. If Green returns in Durban, Australia will face a selection squeeze in the middle order, with Alex Carey also under pressure to retain his place.
