Since making his international debut in 2018, McDermott has played 25 T20Is and six ODIs for Australia. His last ODI match for Australia came on the tour of Pakistan in March-April 2022, where he scored his only hundred in the format in Lahore.
It remains to be seen if Short will be fit for Australia’s upcoming T20I matches against the West Indies set to be held on February 9, 11 and 13 respectively. Short earned his spot in Australia’s white-ball set-up after being named Player of the Tournament in the Big Bash League (BBL) for scoring 541 runs in the competition.
Australia ODI squad for third game: Steve Smith (captain), Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood (vice-captain), Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Lance Morris, Ben McDermott, Will Sutherland, Adam Zampa
