World Cup-winning skipper Pat Cummins has been rested from Australia’s upcoming white-ball tour to the United Kingdom, and left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc is set to miss the T20I leg of the trip as part of a workload management program.

The Aussies are scheduled to play five one-day internationals against England and three Twenty20 matches against Scotland in September.

According to Cricket Australia, Cummins' absence was part of a "pre-planned, long-term load management strategy" with the Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner.

Mitchell Marsh, who captained Australia in the recently held T20 World Cup, will lead the side on the tour of Britain.

Veteran opener David Warner has retired while wicketkeeper Matthew Wade was overlooked, with selectors looking at the future.

Young batter Jake Fraser-McGurk was named in both the ODI and T20 squads after being a designated traveling reserve for the T20 World Cup 2024.

“This tour gives us a great opportunity to bring in some new players in the absence of David Warner and Matthew Wade, as well as giving some senior players time to prepare for the home summer and a busy first half of next year,” George Bailey, Australia’s selection chairman, said.

The likes of Fraser-McGurk, Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett and Aaron Hardie "are exciting prospects to join the likes of Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis and Josh Inglis in the white ball setup," Bailey said. "With the Champions Trophy next year ... there has been a lot of planning invested into these next six months.

"That has included gradual integration of new players into our white ball squads who have earned international opportunities via excellent form."

Although Australia failed to qualify for the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinals, they are the World Cup champions in the 50-over format and the reigning World Test Championship winners.
