Currently, a three-match T20 series is being played between Australia and England. So far, two matches have been played between these two teams and this series is tied at 1-1.

Now the third and final T20 match between these two teams will be played on 15 September at Old Trafford in Manchester. However, Australia has suffered a major setback before this match. Excellent fast bowler Xavier Bartlett will not be seen playing in the third T20. Xavier Bartlett was injured in the first T20 match and due to this he could not even finish his spell.

Now Ben Dwarshuis has been included in the Australia team in place of Xavier Bartlett. Ben Dwarshuis made his international debut in April 2022. Even though Ben Dwarshuis may not have bowled well in his debut match, his performance has always been excellent in domestic cricket and franchise cricket.
