After a winter where Australia was World Test champions and once again defended the Ashes, it's all about white ball and the upcoming ODI World Cup When does it start? Australia's journey to the ODI World Cup India begins in South Africa, but before more than 50 five-games kick off, the Australians have three T20 international matches against Proteas Durban starting at 2am AEST on Thursday morning.

Australia offers arguably one of the freshest, dynamic and exciting lineups in recent years for the T20 fixtures. The upcoming ODI World Cup in October and November and heavy red ball workload in England throughout the winter mean that many established stars are missing from T20 side, which has a distinct Big Bash League vibe. We will consider this issue in more depth below. In over 50 games against Proteas, we're getting much closer to a full-blown squad, with a few notable exceptions. Pat Cummins, Mitch Starc, Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell were excluded from this tour for various reasons. This means Mitch Marsh will captain Australia in both white ball formats on this tour.
