Australia will be without three key players in their upcoming white-ball tour of Bangladesh, with captain Mitch Marsh, star opener Travis Head and spinner Tanvir Sangha set to miss the match for different reasons.Marsh has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series with an ankle injury, while Sangha will miss the tour due to a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, Head has been granted personal leave for the entire tour as Australia manages the workload of one of its most important all-format players ahead of a busy international calendar.The absences forced changes to the squad, with Todd Murphy, Ollie Peake and Matt Short called up for the ODI leg of the series starting on Tuesday.With Marsh unavailable, wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis will once again captain Australia in the 50-over matches after leading the team during the recent white-ball assignments against Pakistan.

Selectors returned replacements

Australia selector Tony Dodemide confirmed that Sangha’s participation in the tour has ended due to his injury.“Unfortunately, Tanvir Sangha suffered a hamstring injury during the second ODI against Pakistan and will not take any further part in the tour,” Dodemide said.The selector revealed that Marsh has not yet fully recovered from his ankle problem, although the all-rounder is expected to join the squad ahead of the T20 series in Bangladesh.“We were hopeful that Mitch Marsh would be available for the Bangladesh ODI series, although he is still working his way back to full fitness from an ankle injury. Mitch will join the group in Dhaka and begin preparations for the T20 series,” he said.Dodemide also revealed that Head, who was originally selected for both legs of the tour, had been given leave ahead of Australia’s busy period of Test cricket.“Travis was initially selected for the ODI and T20I legs of this Bangladesh tour, but was later granted personal leave for both. We look forward to seeing him again for the top Test series against Bangladesh,” he said.

New opportunities for Murphy, Peak and Short

The changes have opened doors for new faces. Off-spinner Todd Murphy has been included in the ODI squad for the first time, while Peake and Short have retained their places after impressing during the Pakistan tour.“We are excited to welcome Todd Murphy to the ODI squad for the first time, while it will be ideal for Ollie Peake and Matt Short to remain with the group following the Pakistan tour,” Dodemide said.Despite the high-profile absences, Australia are hoping their revamped team can carry the momentum before turning to a challenging Test schedule featuring Bangladesh, South Africa and New Zealand.Australia squad for Bangladesh ODI:
