Andrew Tye
Andrew Tye made his ODI debut against England in 2018 after the team needed a specialist third pacer and the wily T20 bowler was drafted into the side. He went wicketless in his first game but bowled very economical and became a regular in the side. Post Smith and Warner's bans, Tye's experience became crucial for the Aussies in both T20Is and ODIs.
Tye, who won the Purple Cap in IPL 2018, picked up 12 wickets from seven ODIs. He was Australia's most consistent bowler who could contain the English batsmen during the death overs. He has played all his ODI games against England and it'll be interesting to see what he does against India. Tye made his T20I debut in 2015 but his ODI career is of great importance to Australia now.
