Josh Inglis will captain Australia in the forthcoming ODI series in Pakistan after Mitch Marsh was ruled out with an ankle injury sustained playing in the Indian Premier League.
Marsh will undergo further assessment and treatment in Perth and "his availability for the white ball tour of Bangladesh will be determined in due course," said a Cricket Australia spokesperson on Tuesday evening.
Inglis is the fourth choice skipper as regular captain Pat Cummins and his deputy Travis Head were already missing from the squad due to ongoing commitments in the IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
He led a similarly understrength Australia in November 2024, also against Pakistan in white ball matches, when he became the first English-born player to captain Australia for more than 130 years.
