Australia's mens cricket schedule for the next 18 months has now been released, and it is one that is packed solid, such that the players will barely have time to take a breath. In amongst both the T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup, Australia also has marquee Test tours of India and England, as well as plenty of other bilateral series in all three formats of the game mixed in between.

On today's episode of The Casual Mankadder, we will have a look at that schedule, and how an ability to have three focused sections of the calendar may well enable Australia to wind their way through to the best chances of success. We will also discuss just how important it will be to have more one-format players in these squads in order for Australia have the greatest success in that period coming up.
