Peake, Scott, Davies earn maiden Australia call-ups for subcontinent tours
Mitchell Marsh, currently playing in the IPL, leads three new-look squads, with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood absent from all of them. Fast bowlers Billy Stanlake and Riley Meredith return to the ODI fold.
Ollie Peake, Liam Scott and Joel Davies earn their maiden Australia call-ups. Peake is included only for Pakistan ODIs, Scott for Bangladesh ODIs as well, and Davies only for the T20I squad against Bangladesh.
Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis and Xavier Bartlett, currently part of the IPL and set to feature in the Playoffs, will replace Peake, Stanlake, Meredith and Matt Short as the ODI action shifts from Pakistan to Bangladesh.
Notably, Glenn Maxwell – who retired from ODIs – did not make the T20I squad.
All three newcomers have been rewarded for domestic performances. Scott was named the Sheffield Shield Player of the Year in 2025/26, Davies was the MVP at the 2025/26 Big Bash League, and Peake captained Australia at the 2026 U19 World Cup and has also graduated to Australia A.
"It's always exciting to see new players get an opportunity to play international cricket and be part of the national team," chair of selectors George Bailey said. "The blend of experienced players coupled with new or returning players will provide a nice mix for these subcontinent tours".
