Australia announce ODI and T20I squads for AUS vs IND 2025 series; Pat Cummins & Glenn Maxwell left out

Cricket Australia (CA) have named the squads for the upcoming white-ball home series against India. The two heavyweights will play three ODIs and five T20Is from October 19 onwards.

Australia ODI captain Pat Cummins has been ruled out of the entire series due to a bone stress injury, as the management are looking to manage his workload ahead of the crucial 2025-26 Ashes series. As a result, Mitchell Marsh will be leading both the ODI and the T20I teams.

Other notable absence from the ODI squad includes Marnus Labuschagne, who scored just two runs in two matches during the recently held home series against South Africa. Australia have included Matt Renshaw in the setup to bolster the batting unit. The left-handed batter is yet to make his ODI debut, while his last international appearance came during the 2023 Border-Gavaskar series in India.

All-rounder Mitchell Owen comes back into the ODI squad after recovering from a concussion ahead of the South Africa series. Matt Short also recovers from a rib injury to return to be included in both squads.

Australia have had to make adjustments to their squad given the recent retirements of Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis from select formats.

The left-arm seamer last played an ODI in November 2024, and went on to miss the 2025 Champions Trophy campaign as well as the series against South Africa.

Although still playing the shortest format, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell does not feature in the squad due to a recent freak injury during a net session. He sustained a fractured arm which ruled him out of the T20I series at home against New Zealand as well. He had surgery on his wrist and is expected to be fit in time for the 2025-26 Big Bash League (BBL) campaign with the Melbourne Stars.
