All-rounder Mitchell Marsh will captain the side in the absence of Cummins, who has opted to rest for the entire series. Matthew Short and Mitchell Owen, who are returning from their injuries, have been named in the squad as well.

The Cricket Board has also named a 14-man squad for the initial two T20Is from the five-match series, which will begin from October 8 and conclude on November 8.
