After an exhilarating Test series that saw both Australia and the West Indies showcasing their cricketing prowess, the focus now shifts to the One Day International (ODI) leg as the two cricketing powerhouses gear up to face each other in a three-match series set to commence on February 02 in Melbourne.

In a significant development, Australian cricket stalwart Steve Smith is set to lead the Australian team in the absence of Pat Cummins, who, along with key pace bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, has been rested for the upcoming ODIs. Travis Head, known for his consistent batting performances, will assume the role of deputy to Smith, adding depth to the Australian squad.

On the West Indies side, Shai Hope will continue to helm the team in the 50-overs format. However, the absence of Shamar Joseph, who played a pivotal role in the recently-concluded Test series but is sidelined due to a toe injury, will be felt by the West Indies squad as they prepare for the ODI challenge against the World Champions.

The upcoming ODI series holds particular significance for Australia as it marks their first ODI campaign following the retirement of veteran cricketer David Warner. The New South Wales superstar confirmed his retirement from ODIs just before the final Test against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in January. With Mitchell Marsh also unavailable for selection, having been rested to manage his workload, Australia will be on the lookout for a quality opener to fill the void left by Warner’s departure and strengthen their batting lineup.
