Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 00:32 · Archive

WA paceman Mahli Beardman has been named in Australia's 14-man ODI squad to face England.

WA paceman Mahli Beardman has been named in Australia's 14-man ODI squad for three matches against England, with the first fixture at Optus Stadium in Perth next Friday. The 21-year-old is likely to make his ODI debut in a pace attack without rested players Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.

Beardman is one of five West Australian players in the squad, alongside captain Mitch Marsh, Cam Green, Josh Inglis and Cooper Connolly. The Dunsborough product was blooded at international level in a T20 fixture in Pakistan earlier this year. He has also been named in the T20 squad for five matches that will follow the ODI series.

Australian chair of selectors George Bailey said: 'Mahli Beardman's recent performances for Australia A were impressive and we are incredibly excited for his return to the national team across the ODI and T20 formats. We think he can continue to develop into an all-format player across the coming years.' Beardman previously said he was keen to make the most of any international opportunity.
