Mitchell Marsh has been named captain of Australia's squad for the upcoming five-match T20 series against the West Indies, marking his return after missing the last T20 series against Pakistan. Key players Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Travis Head have been rested, while Josh Hazlewood, Cameron Green, and Cooper Connolly return to the side following injury or absence.
