Owen Earns Maiden Australia Call-up For T20I Against West Indies, Fraser-McGurk Omitted
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Mitch Owen has earned a maiden call-up to the Australian team after being named in the squad for the five-match T20I series against the West Indies in July. Young opener Jake Fraser-McGurk is a notable omission from the T20I squad after an extended lean period, while Marcus Stoinis and Xavier Bartlett are also dropped for the trip to the Caribbean.
Cameron Green and Cooper Connolly also return to the T20I team following recovery from their respective injuries, though the former is expected to play as a specialist batter. Josh Hazlewood, who won IPL 2025 title with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Tuesday night, also comes back to the side, so as Glenn Maxwell, while left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann has been handed a first-ever call-up to the T20I team.
Pat Cummins, Travis Head and Mitchell Starc will not be a part of the T20I series and will return to Australia following the Test series in the West Indies. Mitchell Marsh is back to captaining Australia after missing the T20I series against Pakistan in November 2024 due to paternity leave and preparation for Tests against India.
