    Mitchell Owen Ready To Translate T20I Success To ODIs Against South Africa

    Caribbean T20Is: Mitchell Owen revealed that he will be translating his T20I success as he prepares to make his ODI debut for Australia later this month, following an impressive start to his international career in the T20Is against the West Indies.

    The 23-year-old was a standout selection in Australia’s revamped ODI squad for the upcoming three-match home series against South Africa, set to be played in Cairns and Mackay from August 19. The ODI series will follow a three-match T20I series against the same opponents in Darwin and Cairns, beginning next week. Owen has retained his place in the squad after a strong T20I debut where he posted scores of 50, 36*, 2 and 37 while batting at No. 6, finishing the series with an exceptional strike rate of 192.30.

    Although Owen made his name as an opener in the BBL, it was his composed power-hitting in the middle and death overs during the recent Caribbean T20Is - along with his handy medium-pace bowling - that earned him a spot in Australia’s ODI squad. His inclusion comes as the team enters a new era, beginning preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa following the post-Champions Trophy retirements of veterans Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis.
