Australia Team News- Ashton Agar, Josh Inglis Affected By Covid-19, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith And Kane Richardson Ruled Out

Matthew Renshaw was called up to Australia’s limited overs squad for the tour of Pakistan as batting cover after all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of limited overs series and Josh Inglis tested positive for COVID-19.

Ashton Agar became the second Australia player to test positive for Covid-19 in 24 hours, and was ruled out of the entire ODI series against Men in Green in Lahore. Steve Smith was also ruled out of the series with an elbow issue.

Due to a hamstring injury, Kane Richardson also missed the Australia’s limited-overs tour and was replaced by New South Wales left-armer Ben Dwarshuis. Kane Richardson, the most experienced fast bowler in an already depleted squad, sustained the injury while training in Melbourne.

The Australia tour consisted of a three-match Test series, which was won by Australia, a three-match ODI series, which was won by Pakistan, and a sole T20 International match, which will be played on April 5.

In the 3rd and final ODI, Babar Azam (105*) and Imam-ul-Haq (89*) helped Pakistan beat Australia by nine wickets in Lahore to take the series 2-1, after a brilliant bowling performance helped them bowl out the visitors for 210.

Put into bat, Australia were rocked early, being 0/2 at one stage. Pakistan picked up wickets at regular intervals before Alex Carey’s solid half-century steadied the ship for Australia. His wicket led to a mini-collapse for the visitors, before Sean Abbott’s brilliant 49 helped them to a score of 210.

Despite losing Fakhar Zaman relatively early, Pakistan then cruised home in the chase courtesy of a mammoth 190-run partnership between skipper Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq. Babar Azam scored the 16th ton of his ODI career while Imam-ul-Haq notched up a serene fifty, as Pakistan emerged as 2-1 series victors.

Babar Azam hit a sublime 114 off 83 balls and in-form Imam-ul-Haq made 106 off 97 in a record chase for any team in the country. After an 88-run loss on Tuesday, Pakistan were staring down the barrel of a series defeat after Australia racked up a mammoth 348 for 8 marked by Ben McDermott’s 104 off 108 balls- his first international century.

Chasing 314, Pakistan rued a slow start and struggled against Australia’s spinners in dewy conditions under lights to be bowled out for 225 in the 46th over in what was a return to the format for the two teams since July.

Australia had only 13 players to choose from, and handed debuts to leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson and quick Nathan Ellis. Pakistan had fresh faces, too, with 34-year-old leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood and young quick Mohammad Wasim making their ODI debuts.
