Get South Africa Twenty20 Squad South Africa in Australia T20I Series, 2014/15 Squad details on ESPNcricinfo.com. You can write to him at Mark Boucher reveals how AB de Villiers can make into South Africa T20 World Cup squadWATCH: ‘Wonder Woman’ invades pitch during SA vs ENG 3rd T20I Instead, spots No.4 and No.5 were taken by Ben McDermott and Ashton Turner.But neither player has made the most of their combined 23 appearances, forcing selectors to drop the pair and look at what they left behind.Wade hasn’t played a T20I since September 2016 while Marsh’s last appearance for Australia in the format was in October 2018. His motto of life is Eat, Sleep, Cricket, REPEAT!! Cricket South Africa (CSA) named their 15-man squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia. Should he be picked, then it changes the XI’s composition which appeared to be set.Australia has heavily bought into selecting five specialist bowlers — two spin, three pace — and neglecting a fast-bowling all-rounder.But Marsh’s selection would give Australia exactly that as well as a glut of fast-bowling options that upsets the current formula.In this scenario, fast bowler Kane Richardson would likely be forced to give way given Australia has had repeated success in partnering spinners Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar.Marsh’s ball-striking during the BBL was often breathtaking, particularly when he crushed an unbeaten 93 off 41 balls against the Brisbane Heat. Wade’s run has been similarly impressive in the past two seasons; 943 runs at 44.90 (SR 155.10).Nonetheless, those stellar runs have been born out of the greater opportunity afforded to openers, which neither will be for Australia — David Warner and Aaron Finch have taken out mortgages on those spots.Marcus Stoinis was left out for that reason despite setting an all-time BBL record for the most runs scored in a season (705 at 54.23, SR 136.62).Where Short differs to Stoinis, however, is that he offers a part-time spin option, while head selector Trevor Hohns described his batting as “inventive” and “hard-hitting”.Wade also has points of difference to Stoinis in that he is one of Australia’s strongest fielders that can act as a substitute wicketkeeper to Alex Carey. He was replaced in the squad by D’Arcy Short.The unwelcome news means Australia is scratching around for a Plan B on how to fix a middle-order that is lacking firepower in the back-end with the T20 World Cup rapidly approaching.Maxwell was no guarantee to solve the issue, but as a middle-order specialist with a career strike rate (160.00) higher than anyone to have made more than 1,500 T20I runs was better-placed to do so than anyone else.Australia will instead be forced to experiment with a new-look middle-order, likely to feature two of Short, Matthew Wade and Mitchell Marsh.None of the trio featured in Australia’s most recent T20I, which came against Sri Lanka in November. Mitch Marsh has been called-up for Australia limited-overs tour of South Africa.Glenn Maxwell was forced to withdraw last week to undergo surgery on his left elbow.Matthew Wade and D’Arcy Short are middle-order options for Australia. When Australia left India last month, tail between the legs having thrown away a series lead, one issue burned far brighter than all else.And if that was true for Australia’s ODI XI, then it’s doubly so for the team that Expert finisher Maxwell was meant to play the series but was forced to withdraw last week to undergo surgery on his left elbow. England name ODI and T20 squads for South Africa tour.
