Delhi: Australia’s team is currently on a West Indies tour, where it is playing a series of three Tests and five T20 matches against the hosts. By winning the first two matches of the Test, the Kangaroo team has already taken an unbeatable lead on the series. Now the third and final Test match of the series will be played on 13 July in a day-night format, Pink ball.

After this, the T20 series will begin between the two teams from July 20. It will be a T20 series of five matches, whose first match will be played at the famous Sabina Park in Jamaica. Australia had already announced its 16 -member team about this series, but now two changes have been made in it.

Cricket Australia (CA) has included opening batsman Jack Fraser McGark and young fast bowler Javier Bartlet in the team in place of fast bowler Josh Hazlewood and Spencer Johnson. Hazelwood will return to Australia after the Test series ends, where he will prepare for the series against South Africa next month. At the same time, Spencer Johnson has not been able to overcome the back injury so far, due to which he has been dropped from the T20 team.

Jack Fraser McGark, who has not yet received any national contract from Cricket Australia, will try to make its mark in international cricket through this T20 series. At the same time, it will also be a great opportunity for Bartlet to prove itself in T20 format.
