Australia recall Marcus Stoinis, Richardson, Ashton Agar for England T20Is

MELBOURNE: Australia has recalled all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, along with paceman Kane Richardson and spinner Ashton Agar, for the T20 series against England in the lead-up to the World Cup. Stoinis returns to the squad after suffering a side strain, while Richardson and Agar slot back in after being rested from the ongoing West Indies series.

Selectors have decided to rest their first-choice attack of Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins for the first of the three-match series against England in Perth on Sunday, along with all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.

But all four will be available for selection for the second match in Canberra next week, the team said on Thursday.

All-rounder Cameron Green has retained his place in the squad for the England series but is not expected to feature in the October 16 - November 13 World Cup where Australia will defend their title on home soil. Agencies
