Australia and England Finalize ODI Squads

Australia's ODI squad for the upcoming series against England has been bolstered by the addition of 19-year-old pace bowler Mahli Beardman, who joins as a standby player following a series of injuries among the team's fast bowlers. Beardman, a standout performer in the Under-19 World Cup, was recognized for his impressive final performance against India and has been called up despite his limited experience in senior cricket. England has included right-arm pacer Saqib Mahmood in their squad for the five-match series starting September 19 at Trent Bridge, following his participation in the T20I series where he showed promising form. The ODI series will see Harry Brook captaining England in the absence of Jos Buttler, who is sidelined with a calf injury. The T20I series between the two teams ended in a draw, with the deciding game washed out due to rain.
