Three playing squads from two different countries for several different forms of the game for three different series were announced last week, and while all contained their surprises the men’s squads went in a similar direction – back to the future, consolidating experience against those that in recent times have been asked to cover for their absence. Australia’s squad for the T20 World Cup is looking to acquire the one major international crown they have been unable to win, while England are searching for a way to halt their batting woes. As well as this, Australia’s squad for the Women’s series against India had some big names missing and some exciting names added into the mix. Today we will discuss the selection issues facing both countries, and how that will affect each of their separate series that they are approaching. All of that lies ahead on this episode of The Casual Mankadder.
