Cooper Connolly has vaulted into Australian colours after some eye-catching displays for WA and the Perth Scorchers, while Mitchell Marsh has been effectively endorsed to lead the national T20 side to the next World Cup in 2026
Western Australian whizkid Cooper Connolly has vaulted into the Australian squad to tour Scotland and England next month, while Mitchell Marsh has effectively been endorsed to lead the national T20 side to the next World Cup in 2026.
Twenty-year-old Connolly, who put on some eye-catching displays for WA and the Perth Scorchers, has replaced Ashton Agar as the spin all-rounder in the T20 squad for next month’s tour, while Marsh will captain the Australian side in both T20 and ODI matches because Pat Cummins is resting.
“We are particularly pleased to offer Cooper his first opportunity in the T20 squad having introduced the likes of Jake, Spencer, Xavier and Aaron in the past 12 months. They are exciting prospects to join the likes of Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis and Josh Inglis in the white ball set-up.“There has been a lot of planning invested into these next six months.
