T20 International series: Smith, Adam Zampa return home

NEW DELHI: Almost half of the Australian team currently playing in the T20 International series in India will return home after the third match in Guwahati with Travis Head being the lone member of the World Cup winning side to stay put for the remaining two games.

Seven members from Australia's ODI World Cup winning team stayed back in India after the final on November 19 for the five-match T20I series. But six of the seven players will not feature in the Raipur and Bengaluru matches.

Adam Zampa, who finished the World Cup with 23 wickets and equalled Muttiah Muralitharan's record for most wickets by a spinner in a single edition, has already flown back home, along with Steve Smith.

Four other players -- Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis and Sean Abbott -- are scheduled to return to Australia after Tuesday's match. Agencies
