Josh Inglis Will Make His Australia Debut Against Sri Lanka in the 1st T20I.

Australia captain Aaron Finch revealed on Thursday that Josh Inglis will make his debut in the opening T20I of the five-match series against Sri Lanka. The first Twenty20 International (T20I) between Australia and Sri Lanka will take place on Friday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Finch also stated that Inglis will bat third for Australia in the first Twenty20 International.
According to cricket.com.au, Inglish will replace Mitchell Marsh in the line-up, while Ben McDermott will start the batting instead of David Warner. These are the only changes from the Australia team that won the T20 World Cup final last year.
Marsh and Warner have been rested for the series against Sri Lanka, and Travis Head will be missing for the first three games due to Sheffield Shield commitments for South Australia.
“Ben McDermott has been in fantastic form, so having him at the top of the lineup was critical for us. And Josh Inglis has been pushed around a little bit in the rankings. His selection reflects not just how well he has performed in recent years, but also how well he performed in the group in the T20 World Cup “According to cricket.com.au, Finch stated.
“He hasn’t had as many runs as he would have wanted during the Big Bash as he has in the past. However, he was taking on slightly different duties. As a result, it’s a fantastic chance for him “He continued.
Australia’s playing XI for the first T20I: Ben McDermott (c), Aaron Finch, Josh Inglis, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, and Josh Hazlewood.
