Earlier this month, right-handed batter Aaron Finch decided to retire from ODI format and he bid farewell from the 50-over game after playing a three-match series against Zimbabwe. Off late, Finch has struggled in this particular format and hence his decision cannot be looked at as a major surprise. His retirement means that Australia are now looking for a new ODI captain and former skipper Ricky Ponting believes that Pat Cummins would go on helm the side in the 50-over format.
After a disappointing run at the Asia Cup 2022, Team India is all geared up for the upcoming T20I series against Australia at home.

Just two days ahead of the 1st T20I clash against Australia, the BCCI unveiled the new T20 jersey for the Indian men and women's cricket teams. The launch of the new jersey sparked a moment of excitement among fans and players. Following the launch, India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal took to Twitter to post of picture of himself donning the new jersey.
