Cricket: Shane Warne says he wants to see a day-night test match played out at the Boxing Day test in Melbourne and offers a solution to concerns over the pink ball.

Glenn Maxwell, Nathan Lyon and Marcus Stoinis are among eight stars dramatically axed from Australia’s ODI squad for next month’s tour of India.

Selectors confirmed a dramatic shake-up on Tuesday when announcing a new look 14-man squad that will play three one-day internationals in India, beginning January 14.

Maxwell declared in a press conference last week that he was hoping to make his return to international cricket during the Indian series after his brave decision to take leave from Australia’s Twenty20 squad last month due to mental health reasons.

However, selectors have confirmed he won’t get that chance.

Reports earlier on Tuesday claimed selectors were left “frustrated” with Maxwell and Stoinis during this year’s ODI World Cup in England.

They have now paid for it with their positions in the ODI squad.

They were far from alone. Eight players were on Tuesday axed from the squad that progressed to a semi-final against England during this year’s ODI World Cup.

Maxwell, Lyon, Stoinis, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh and Jhye Richardson have all been cut.

In their place Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Peter Handscomb, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne and Ashton Turner have all been called up.

The eight players to keep their spots from the World Cup campaign are Aaron Finch, Alex Carey (vc), Pat Cummins (vc), Kane Richardson, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, and Adam Zampa.

While Stoinis was also dumped from the T20 squad in November, reports claims Maxwell remains in Australia’s plans for the Twenty20 World Cup, beginning in October, 2020, in Australia.

Maxwell’s Indian omission means he will be available to play for the Melbourne Stars for the entire 2019-20 Big Bash League.

While Labuschagne is expected to earn his ODI debut next month, the international careers of Shaun Marsh and Usman Khawaja appear over with selectors looking ahead to the 2023 World Cup.

Reports claim selectors doubt veterans Marsh and Khawaja’s ability to stick around for another four years.

Coach Justin Langer will skip the India tour with assistant Andrew McDonald to take charge of the team for the series.

Notably, all of Australia’s front-line quicks will play with Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Hazlewood all named.

“Similar to the Test team, we are wanting the white-ball squad to continue the form of the unbeaten T20 series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka,” chief selector Trevor Hohns said.

“The performance of our white-ball squads has been strong, and we are hoping to build the momentum towards the T20 World Cup ... and ultimately the 2023 ICC World Cup in India.

“We also believe Marnus Labuschagne is ready for his international white-ball debut after his strong form for Queensland in this form of the game.

“It is great to see Glenn Maxwell returning to the game in the Big Bash League.

“We will closely monitor his form after what would have been disappointing 12 months in the one-day game by his standards.”
