The problem with Australia's ODI squad to face England

Australia has named a new-look ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against England this month.

Up to six new young guns could make their home debuts in ODI cricket in the series, which should give Aussie fans a glimpse at the next generation of international stars.

Mitch Marsh again captains the side, while the 14-man squad includes the experience of Alex Carey, Cam Green, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Matt Renshaw and Adam Zampa.

While those names were expected, the likes of Xavier Bartlett, Mahli Beardman, Cooper Connolly, Jack Edwards, Ollie Peake and Liam Scott will be desperate to make an impact in front of home crowds.

Reacting to that squad, SEN Cricket's Adam White has signalled one big issue... we need those young players featuring in the Sheffield Shield to help replenish the Test team.

Even though White understands Australian selectors should rightfully be picking the best squad available, he wishes the likes of Connolly, Peake, Edwards, Bartlett and Beardman in particular could have more time honing their skills in the long form.

"The One Day squad is in for the upcoming games with England, there is three of them," White said on SEN Mornings.

"Bear in mind, this is getting ready for the One Day World Cup next year.

"This is the problem that the Australian selectors have got. They're trying to get ready for the World Cup, but they're also trying to work out who is in Test calculations for this New Zealand series, the India series and then the Ashes.

"I want Cooper Connolly playing Shield cricket, I want Jack Edwards to do the same, Ollie Peake as well. They are the ones we want to see getting as much red-ball activity into them as possible ahead of these Test series.

"You could even throw in Xavier Bartlett and Mahli Beardman as potential Test bowlers of the future.

"This is where it's hard, because I can understand why they would play them. As cricket fans, you want to see the best team possible playing these ODIs.

"But with this schedule, it does make it difficult for them. Even for Cam Green, you'd like to see him have more red-ball games.

"But if you don't play your best teams in One Day Internationals, that criticism comes your way.

"Sometimes it feels like the selectors can't win."

The first ODI between Australia and England is set for Friday, November 13 in Perth.
