Hosts Australia announced white-ball squads for the India series starting October 19 in Perth. Matthew Renshaw earned an ODI call-up, while his fellow Queenslander Marnus Labuschagne missed out despite scoring a gritty 130 in a List A game against Victoria recently.

Captain Mitchell Marsh leads the two sides, with all-rounders Matthew Short and Cameron Green returning to the ODI setup.&nbsp;While Labuschagne’s absence surprises no one, considering he hasn't hit a single fifty (47 being his best) in his past 10 ODI innings, Renshaw's inclusion is rewarding. An opener in domestic red-ball cricket, Renshaw returned to the One-Day side on the back of a significant run in List A cricket, including a hundred for Australia A against Sri Lanka in Darwin this winter.

IND vs AUS: Australia announce squads for India series; Renshaw earns ODI call-up

Since David Warner announced his decision (mid-last year) to retire from Tests after the Pakistan series, three players, Matt Renshaw, Marcus Harris and Cameron Bancroft, emerged as his potential replacement options. However, with Australia naming the final 13 for the first Test against West Indies starting on January 17 in Adelaide, Renshaw - picked as the spare batter, is ready to play the waiting game.

Having last played Tests against India during the 2023 away tour, Renshaw is rewarded for his consistent run since July 1, 2022, where he scored 1566 first-class runs at an impressive average of 52.20, including seven centuries.

Sounding optimistic about waiting for his turn while remaining aware of the challenges he had gone through in the past six months, Renshaw said, "It is really nice, and a lot of hard work has gone into that. It has been a weird six months since Davey said what he said, but I have just tried to enjoy my cricket."

"That is the big one for me. As much as all this stuff has been looming over my head, I play my best when I am having fun.

"Obviously, people come and go. That's the way cricket is, but I've just tried to enjoy my cricket…whether that is for Australia A, Prime Minister's XI, Queensland and in county cricket as well,” the 27-year-old batter added.

Meanwhile, Renshaw acknowledged the latest changes to the batting order, with veteran Steve Smith named the new opener, replacing Warner, and Cameron Green slotted into the middle order.&nbsp;

"He averages 60 in Test cricket. He is the best player in the world. It gets Cam [Green] in the team as well and we all know what Cam is capable of," he said.&nbsp;

"Selectors talked about the top six batters in the country, and there is no doubt those six guys are. It is just about me trying to learn from them while I am in the squad.

"We have got amazing players in the team, but I've had a little nibble at Test cricket already. I know what it is like to score a hundred and how that feels. I just want to try and get that enjoyment and be myself around the Test team,” he added.

<h2>'I’m a changed player'</h2>

Having smashed his only hundred against Pakistan (184 in Sydney) seven years back, Renshaw reflected on his journey since, saying he is a completely changed and mature individual and player now.

"I feel a completely different player. I look back at that, and I think I was very naïve with cricket," he said. "I came in wet behind the ears and hadn't really had much experience with what the game can do. I've learned from that…tried to get better with that and tried to improve myself as a cricketer."

Matt Renshaw ready to play waiting game after Test recall for West Indies series

Australian opener Matt Renshaw is a doubt for the series-opening Test against Pakistan after suffering a head injury in a tour match in Dubai.

Renshaw, who has a history of concussions, exited the match against a Pakistan 'A' side after being hit by a pull shot from batsman Abid Ali when fielding at short leg on Sunday.

Renshaw was wearing a helmet when he was struck in the side of the head. He pulled it off immediately and sat with his head in his hands before being examined by medical staff.

He came off the ground for further checks and was replaced in the lineup by Marnus Labuschagne.

Opening batsman Aaron Finch said Renshaw was in good spirits, but the selectors are likely to be cautious about playing the Yorkshire-born 22-year-old in the first Test starting on Sunday.

Renshaw suffered a&nbsp;concussion in a warm-up mishap before a Sheffield Shield match for Queensland in March and was subbed out of the game.

He was also withdrawn from a 2017 Test against Pakistan in Sydney having been hit while fielding just days after being struck by a bouncer when batting.

"He's okay," Finch told reporters. "It was a pretty heavy knock to the head there.

"He's been with the medical staff all afternoon but he seems in really good spirits. He's confident that his headaches are subsiding pretty quickly."

The Renshaw blow soured an otherwise positive day for Australia's batsmen with Finch, Shaun Marsh and younger brother Mitchell all spending valuable time in the middle as the tourists moved to 207 for two at the close of the second day's play, in reply to 278.

One-day specialist Finch, hoping to make his Test debut after his surprise selection in Tim Paine's squad, scored 54 in an 82-run opening stand with Usman Khawaja, while number three Shaun Marsh and Mitchell were unbeaten on 54 and 53 respectively.

"It was nice to get out in the middle after training away for the best part of a week and doing the hard yards," said 31-year-old Finch.

"It's still about playing my natural game which is quite aggressive generally."

Australian opener Matt Renshaw a doubt for first Pakistan Test

'Queensland' opener Matt Renshaw will fly to Johannesburg on Tuesday night to join the Australian squad which is currently reeling under the backlash of the ball-tampering scandal.&nbsp

The 21-year old, who&nbspwas dropped ahead of the Ashes series in favour of Cameron Bancroft, will fly for the final test against South Africa.

Bancroft is one of two players charged by the ICC for altering the condition of the ball using a foreign substance.

He copped three demerit points and a 75 per cent match fee deduction.

Meanwhile, former Australian skipper Steve Smith, who stepped down from his post following the controversy, has been suspended by the ICC for the fourth Test and a 100 per cent match fee deduction has been imposed.&nbsp

Further action is awaited from Cricket Australia with the board's CEO James Sutherland arriving in South Africa to assess the findings of an investigation conducted by Integrity officer Iain Roy.

Renshaw has been in tremendous touch after Christmas by posting three centuries in as many games to lead the Bulls into the Shield final.
