Marcus Stoinis has earned a recall to Australiaโs T20I squad for the three-match series against New Zealand, giving him a chance to push for a spot in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The series also highlights the absence of Cameron Green, who is focusing on his bowling comeback through the Sheffield Shield.
Key Opportunities for Stoinis
Stoinis missed recent series against West Indies and South Africa to play in the Hundred but remains in contention for the World Cup. His role could be crucial as a middle-order finisher, with his medium pace providing flexibility as a backup bowling option.

Spencer Johnson, another left-arm pacer previously considered as a Starc replacement, remains sidelined due to a back injury and is unlikely to return before next year.
Squad Dynamics and Upcoming Fixtures
Other players returning from injury include Matthew Short, who will look to secure a spot in a competitive Australian batting lineup. Nathan Ellis will also miss the series due to family commitments.
The New Zealand T20Is are scheduled for October 1, 3, and 4, followed by five home T20Is against India, which will be the final opportunity for players to impress before the World Cup squad is finalized.
