England and Australia will kick off the five-match ODI series with the opening game on Thursday (Sep 19). The series will resume the rivalry between the two heavyweights after the three-match T20I series, which ended in a 1-1 stalemate. Australia won the series opener before Jos Buttler-less England levelled the series with a win in the penultimate T20I before rain played spoilsport in the final game. The action now moves to the three ODIs with both teams having one eye on the 2025 Champions Trophy, to be held in Pakistan early next year.
England will be without regular white-ball captain Buttler, who continues to sit out due to a calf injury. In his absence, youngster Harry Brook will lead the side for the first time and look for a fine start. For the hosts, it will be a humongous task to challenge the current ODI champions, who are without skipper Pat Cummins, with many new faces in their line-up. The onus will be on the likes of Liam Livingstone, Jofra Archer, Brook, Reece Topley, Adil Rashid and Phil Salt to lead the charge
Meanwhile, Australia will see the return of Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell and Steve Smith -- who weren't part of the T20I series. Aussies will start as favourites versus the home side, owing to their experience. Will they make a good start and get a 1-0 lead? Only time will tell.
