Senior Australian players Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh will miss another ODI series, as Australia announced their squad for the tour of Bangladesh on Monday. Josh Inglis will lead the side in Marsh’s absence, while Oliver Peake and Todd Murphy earned call-ups for the one-dayers in Bangladesh. Alongside Peake, Matt Short has also been retained for the Bangladesh ODIs after initially being named only for the Pakistan series. Off-spinner Murphy replaces Tanveer Sangha, the leg-spinner who sustained a hamstring injury during the second ODI against Pakistan in Lahore. Marsh has been included in the touring party and is set to lead the T20I side. National selector Tony Dodemaide said Marsh is recovering from an ankle injury and will join the side in Dhaka ahead of the T20I series. Dodemaide also confirmed that Head was granted personal leave for the series. “We were hopeful Mitch Marsh would be available for the Bangladesh ODI series, however he is still returning to full fitness from an ankle injury,” said Dodemaide. “Mitch will join the group in Dhaka and begin preparations for the T20I series. “Travis was initially selected in both the ODI and T20I legs of this Bangladesh tour but has subsequently been granted personal leave for both. We look forward to seeing him again for the top-end Test series against Bangladesh.” Australia squad for Bangladesh ODIs: Josh Inglis (c), Xavier Bartlett, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Matthew Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Todd Murphy, Oliver Peake, Matthew Renshaw, Liam Scott, Matt Short, Adam Zampa.Story continues below this ad Australia squad for Bangladesh T20Is: Mitchell Marsh (c), Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Joel Davies, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Matthew Kuhnemann, Riley Meredith, Josh Philippe, Matthew Renshaw, Adam Zampa.
