The 31-year-old was in good form during the Ashes. As he scored 250 runs in three matches at an average of 50.

He scored a spectacular century in the third Test at Leeds and would hope to build on the good form against Aiden Markram and Co.

Interestingly, all-rounder Hardie has also been named in Australia’s preliminary squad for the ODI World Cup in October-November.

After an intense Ashes series that ended 2-2, Australia will move on to the shortest format of the game as they face the Proteas in a three-match T20I series. All three games are scheduled to be held in Durban. The first T20I will be played on August 30.

Spencer Johnson showed promise during the inaugural season of Major League Cricket. As he was one of the rare bright spots for the Los Angeles Knight Riders in what was a horrendous campaign for them. The tall left-arm pacer bowls at decent speeds and has the ability to swing the ball both ways.

Hardie, who is a right-arm medium pacer, has taken the wickets of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Joe Root in tour matches. He can also tonk the ball when required.

The 24-year-old has been rewarded for his performances for Australia A. Matthew Short, on the other hand, has been a well-known figure in franchise leagues around the world.

He has scored some important runs at the top of the order. And also played six matches during the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League for Punjab Kings.

The right-handed batter will be looking to make good use of whatever opportunities he gets. As Australia wouldn’t mind a top-order batter heading into the T20 World Cup in 2024.

Yuvraj Singh Insult MS Dhoni as He Names His All-Time XI

Yuvraj Singh Insult MS Dhoni as He Names His All-Time XI: Yuvraj Singh, the skipper of the India Champions, picked his all-time team after the team became winners in the World Championship of Legends on Saturday, defeating Pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling final.

When selecting his starting XI, Yuvraj—who is still among the most decorated cricket players in history—made some logical choices. Among Indian hitters, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar made the cut.

The opening batsmen for him were Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli coming in at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Yuvraj selected AB de Villiers at number five, and Adam Gilchrist, the specialist wicket-keeper, at number six.

Australian spin bowling star Shane Warne was ranked No. 7 by Yuvraj, and Muttiah Muralitharan was ranked No. 8. Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath were the bowlers at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively, while Andrew Flintoff, a former England all-rounder, was a candidate at No. 11.

In the championship game, the Yuvraj-led squad proved why they were the best by winning a close battle between two very competitive teams. After winning the toss, the Pakistani Champions chose to bat first and amassed a respectable score of 156/6 in 20 overs.

The innings was anchored by Shoaib Malik’s 41 off 36 balls, which was a notable performance. Irfan Pathan clean bowled Captain Younis Khan for seven runs, ensuring he would not leave an impression. The middle-order collapsed and Misbah-ul-Haq was retired hurt after a brisk 18, late contributions from Sohail Tanvir (19* off 9) ensured Pakistan posted a respectable score.

Indian bowlers, led by Anureet Singh who claimed three wickets with support from Vinay Kumar, Pawan Negi and Irfan Pathan (one wicket each) were instrumental in containing Pakistan’s batting lineup.

India Champions responded by deliberately beginning their run chase. Even though Ambati Rayudu lost Robin Uthappa (10) early in the innings, his brilliant fifty off thirty balls laid the groundwork for the Men in Blue’s chase.

In the same over, Suresh Raina also left cheaply for four, aiding Pakistan’s recovery. However, Rayudu and Gurkeerat Singh Maan’s (34 off 33) solid combination kept India in the game.

Rayudu and Mann also departed in a space of 10 runs but the momentum stayed firmly in India’s favour with Yusuf Pathan’s blistering 30 off 16 balls before the latter was dismissed in the penultimate over.

Yuvraj Singh’s All-Time XI:

Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Adam Gilchrist (wk), Andre Flintoff, Shane Warne, Mutttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath, Wasim Akram. Yuvraj Singh (12th man)
